SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Like-Kind Exchanges.
OMB Number: 1545-1190.
Form Project Number: Form 8824.
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.
Estimated Number of Responses: 137,547.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 17 hrs., 11 min.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,364,433.
The following paragraph applies to all the collections of
information covered by this notice:
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of
information displays a valid OMB control number.
Books or records relating to a collection of information must be
retained if their contents may become material in the administration of
any internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax return
information are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
[[Page 63200]]
Desired Focus of Comments: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is
particularly interested in comments that:
<bullet> Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility.
<bullet> Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used.
<bullet> Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
<bullet> Minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including using appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., by permitting electronic
submissions of responses.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
and/or included in the ICR for OMB approval of the extension of the
information collection; they will also become a matter of public
record.
Approved: September 11, 2023.
Ronald J. Durbala,
IRS Tax Analyst.
