There are a number of 1031 worksheets out there, work through one before attempting to file the return. Here is one  https://www.1031.us/gainscalculation/

And don't forget that wonderful "swiss army knife" for tax pros:

TaxTools software by CFS.

They have a 1031 exchange module that's good (like the rest of their stuff).
