Qualifying properties are typically investment or business properties held for productive use, such as rental housing, commercial buildings, or undeveloped land intended for investment. Primary residences do not qualify; the property must be used for investment purposes.
A qualified intermediary is a neutral party who holds the sale proceeds and facilitates the exchange to maintain tax deferral eligibility. You cannot receive the sale proceeds yourself; using a trusted intermediary helps ensure compliance with IRS rules.
You must identify potential replacement property within 45 days of selling the relinquished property. You must close on the replacement within 180 days of the sale or by the tax due date, whichever comes first.
