1031 Exchange that spans two tax years.

My client just closed on a 1031 exchange yesterday but, because the exchange hadn't been completed by 12/31/21, the agent sent a 1099 - S with the retail value of the property given up, rather than a zero.  Is this a problem?  How should I prepare the tax return?  Should I include a statement to the IRS?  I've never had this si

If they are/were still in the timeframe for the exchange, and it hasn't failed, and they did not disburse the funds, then there is nothing to report for 2021.

Okay, I reread this and I think I misunderstood. I meant they should not have issued that form unless the TP has access to the funds or a portion of the funds were/will be released from the exchange which has not failed.

Not knowing any of the details, I would refer you to a resource such as:
