*Abstract:*                     Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code allows for the non-recognition of gain or loss on the exchange of business or investment property. Section 1043 allows for the non-recognition of gain from dispositions made by certain members of the executive branch of the Federal government because of a conflict of interest. Form 8824 provides taxpayers with an easy method of determining whether a transaction qualifies for like-kind exchange treatment, the gain or loss, if any recognized because of the exchange, and the basis in the new property received in the exchange.                

*Current Actions:*                     Substantial changes are being made to the form and instructions, based on Regulations sections 1.1031(a)-1(a)(3) and 1.1031(a)-3 (and IRC 1031 as updated by Pub. L. 115-97 (TCJA), section 13303). These rules limit the property eligible for like-kind exchanges. Under these rules, only property meeting the definition of real property in IRC 1031 is like-kind property for purposes of like-kind exchanges.                

*Type of Review:*                     Revision of a currently approved collection.                

*Affected Public:*                     Individuals or households, business or other for-profit organization, and not-for-profit institution.
