Locate the most recent data available from the IRS on Form 8824 filings (irs.gov/statistics). In a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, use this information to provide a summary of these transactions through time [e.g., the number of like-kind exchanges that have been reported (in total and by entity type), the total amount of property being exchanged (i.e., the fair market value of property received), and the proportion of realized gains recognized].

Present your findings in one or more graphics, and submit these to your instructor along with a one-page written summary of your findings.
