    Like Kind Exchange--rental

    Client followed all the rules and exchanged a condo for a rental home in 2014. There were no mortgages involved. Here are the numbers (rounded):

    Adjusted basis in exchanged property: $20k
    Settlement costs $15k
    Purchase price of acquired property $200k
    Boot received $30k

    I have 3 tentative numbers; am I on the right track with each?

    #1: Gain realized is $200k (purchase price) - 20k(adjusted basis of exchanged prop) + $30k (boot received) - $15k (settlement costs) = $195k.

    #2: Recognized gain: $30k (boot)-$15k (settlement costs) = $15k

    #3: Basis of Acquired property: $20k (basis of exchanged property)

    Am I doing something wrong with the settlement costs? This is the first 1031 exchange I have dealt with and feel uneasy about it. Thanks for any help anyone has time to give!

    Believe nothing you have not personally researched and verified.
