I keep getting a Ref # 2050607 error for 1031 exchanges. I don't want to use the Like-Kind exchange wizard.

What does Ref # 2050607 say? I doubt it has anything to do with trying to force the wizard on you. My guess is that it is sorta asking you to verify that it is an exchange of real property. If it is, just ignore this warning and go on. 

 

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

I thought it best to go ahead and use the Wizard. It is less flexible than reporting the sale on Form 8824, but I was able to manipulate the Wizard to produce the correct result.

Thanks,

I've never been able to get the wizard to work.

I come up with the correct amounts (using a snifty, 30+ year old worksheet I have..) and then force/override the amounts on the F 8824 to match.

@sjrcpa does the same thing 🙂
