A 1031 exchange is a tax-deferral strategy that allows you to sell an investment property and reinvest the proceeds into like-kind property. To qualify, the transaction must meet IRS rules, including identifying replacement property within 45 days and completing the purchase within 180 days.
A qualified intermediary is an independent facilitator who holds funds to ensure that you do not take constructive receipt of the sale proceeds. Choosing a reputable intermediary is critical for compliance and smooth processing.
Like-kind generally means real estate for another real estate of a similar nature. Personal property or business assets often do not qualify. Different property types can sometimes qualify if they are within the same asset class.
Yes, identification and closing deadlines are strict. The 45-day identification period begins when you sell the initial property, and the 180-day closing deadline applies to the replacement property.
Costs include intermediary fees, legal fees, and closing costs, but the tax deferral can provide long-term benefits. Planning helps manage these costs effectively.
A 1031 exchange is for investment or business property, not primary residences. Some rental properties may qualify, but personal residences typically do not.
We help navigate complex scenarios such as reverse exchanges and improvements, subject to IRS rules and local practice.
Tax reporting requires Form 8824 and proper documentation. We help prepare and review these filings to ensure accuracy.
