A 1031 exchange is a tax-deferral strategy that allows reinvesting proceeds into like-kind property. You must follow IRS rules and timelines to preserve the deferral.
Eligible properties include investment or business real estate. Personal residences do not qualify. Other restrictions apply based on use and ownership.
Like-kind means properties that are of a similar nature or character. The exchange requires the properties be held for investment or business use.
Boot refers to cash or non-like-kind property received during the exchange, which may trigger tax consequences if not properly handled.
Key timelines include a 45-day identification window and a 180-day exchange period. Missing these deadlines can end the deferral.
Fees vary by service scope and adviser. We provide clear outlines of cost and deliverables before proceeding.
While not strictly required by law, professional guidance simplifies compliance and reduces the risk of missteps in documentation.
Missing deadlines can disqualify the exchange. Prompt consultation helps identify options and next steps.
