Let $N$ be a finitely generated nilpotent group. Algorithm is constructed such, that for every automorphism $\phi \in Aut(N)$ defines the Reidemeister number $R(\phi).$ It is proved that any free nilpotent group of rank $r = 2$ or $r = 3$ and class $c \geq 4r,$ or rank $r \geq 4$ and class $c \geq 2r,$ belongs to the class $R_{ \infty}.$
