1031 Exchange and Suspended Passive Losses

TJH

In this particular 1031 exchange related to rental property, a cash settlement was given at closing.  The taxpayer has suspended losses on this property.  How do I make the tax program recognize the suspended loss?

If you mark Box H on the Sch E worksheet, that should free up passive losses.....Im honestly not sure how that works with a 1031 exchange though.

1031 Exchange and related party.  Both of those would disallow the passive losses to be released.

However, I think the actual problem is how to tell the program that the "boot" is passive, so the passive losses would offset that.  I suspect that the program can't do that, and therefore you may need to manually do that  (manually enter the deduction on Schedule E and manually reduce the passive loss carryover).
