This is the IRS's discussion of nontaxable capital gains for real property, and specifically 1031 exchanges. You won't find endless legalese here, but rather plain English with plenty of examples. Pages 10 and 30 are where discussions of exchanges begin, and page 35 has an example of how to fill out Form 8824. You can download that form (www.irs.gov/pub/irs-fill/f8824.pdf) in a version that you can fill in even without having the full version of Acrobat.
