In 1033 exchange due involuntary takeover of property by state, how do I show deferred gain in 1065? Thru form 8824 or some other way?

Client surrendered property to State due to involuntary takeover by State of a hotel to expand roadway in April 2024. Client intends to do 1033 exchange which gives him 2 years to buy another property. Since there is no new property identified/purchased by the end of 2024, how should deferment of taxes takes place. Is it still thru from 8824?

    Hello George4Tacks

    Thanks for your answer.

    We use Proseries and have further questions.  The instructions you gave are for Proseries or other software?  Also it says individual. Bit confused -  I am working on 1065 so can you please clarify when you say screen 17 - what is it?

    Thanks

    Your question appears in Lacerte Tax so George gave Lacerte instructions.

    The more I know the more I don’t know.
