Use this skill when an individual taxpayer or a single-member LLC owner needs to report a like-kind exchange of REAL PROPERTY under IRC §1031 on Form 8824. Triggers on phrases like "1031 exchange", "like-kind exchange", "Form 8824", "defer real estate gain", "Qualified Intermediary 1031", "delayed exchange", "reverse exchange", "swap one rental for another". Related-party exchanges are in scope (Part II, plus the Form 8824 filed for each of the 2 following years). Do NOT use for: vehicle, equipment, or personal-property exchanges (post-2017 no longer eligible — recognize gain on Form 4797 instead); §1033 involuntary conversions (different rules — use the form-4684 skill); exchanges of partnership interests (also ineligible); §1043 conflict-of-interest sales (Part IV) beyond the line map.

From the source SKILL.md

This skill produces an audit-grade draft of Form 8824 from the user's facts about a §1031 like-kind exchange. It walks the form line by line, applies the strict timing and boot rules, computes deferred gain and recognized gain, and emits a deliverable the user can transcribe to their return with confidence.
