Please help!  client sold his residental rental building on Dec. 28, 2018 earmarked thru the contract for 1031 exchange.  he received a 1099 S FORM with line 2 filled in for gross proceeds of $760,000. How do I notify the IRS that this transaction is a 1031 exchange.  He has the same type of residental rental building that he will be buying with that money in roughly 3 weeks, his loan has been approved,  And what do I do with the depreciation he has taken from the 10 years on the old building.  What do I do with the closing costs, if anything.   Thank you

CORRECTED: The 8824 will explain the 1099-S. You may need to file an extension in order to have all the closing details necessary from this transaction.

I too have a 1031 Exchange all completed in 2018. Also received a 1099-S. Do I complete the 8824 first and what about the asset worksheet for the old asset and the new asset?

I don't want to miss a step.

@corinne91 NOTE:  actual filing 2018 1040 TERMINATES the 180 day exchange peroid early.

If you file 2018 1040 before leg 2 of exchange is done, the exchange fails as not bening completed during allowed exchange period.
