A 1031 exchange allows you to swap one investment property for another like-kind property to defer capital gains tax, provided timelines and rules are strictly followed.
Key steps include appointing a Qualified Intermediary, identifying replacement properties, and meeting the 45-day and 180-day deadlines.
Under section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, you can defer capital gains when swapping real estate that is held for investment or business purposes, as long as the properties are like-kind and the exchange is structured through a qualified intermediary.
The process typically involves selecting a qualified intermediary, identifying candidate replacement properties within strict timelines, and completing the exchange to defer taxes while retaining investment potential.
Common terms used in 1031 exchanges are defined below to help you navigate the process with confidence.
Property that is of a similar nature or class in an exchange, not necessarily identical.
A licensed third party who facilitates the exchange by holding proceeds and coordinating documentation.
The period during which you must identify potential replacement properties, typically 45 days.
