A 1031 exchange allows deferring capital gains by exchanging one investment property for another of like-kind. The replacement property must be identified within 45 days and the exchange completed within 180 days. A qualified intermediary is typically required to hold funds during the process.
Participation generally includes the taxpayer who owns the property and any partners or spouses who hold an interest that qualifies as like-kind. The exchange must be for like-kind properties and conducted through a qualified intermediary.
Like-kind means the properties must be of a similar nature or character used for investment or business. Real estate held for rental or development often qualifies when used in a like-kind manner.
A Qualified Intermediary acts as a neutral holder of funds and documents for the exchange. This helps preserve tax deferral by avoiding receipt of the exchange proceeds by the taxpayer.
Key dates include the identification period of 45 days and the total 180 days to complete the exchange. Missing deadlines can trigger taxable events.
Boot is cash or non like-kind property received in the exchange that may be taxable. It reduces the tax deferral opportunity if received.
In many cases you can identify more than one replacement property but you must still meet the identification rules and timelines set by the IRS.
Costs include attorney fees, intermediary fees, and closing costs. We help you assess these as part of a careful plan.
Ling Law Group provides guidance through every stage of the 1031 exchange for Tara Hills clients and coordinates with the needed intermediaries to keep the process on track.
