A 1031 exchange allows you to defer capital gains by reinvesting the proceeds into like-kind property under IRS rules. The deferral continues as long as the replacement property is identified and acquired within the required timelines.
In most cases, you are not required to reinvest 100% of the proceeds. Any cash received (boot) may trigger taxes, so planning with a professional helps manage outcomes.
A Qualified Intermediary is a necessary participant who facilitates the exchange and takes receipt of funds to keep the investor from taking constructive receipt.
Typical timelines include a 45-day identification period and a 180-day maximum to close on the replacement property, depending on the structure of the exchange.
Like-kind generally means real estate held for investment or business purposes; personal property does not usually qualify for a 1031 exchange.
Yes. Multiple replacement properties can be used in one exchange, subject to identification and sequencing requirements.
Risks include failing to meet timelines, not identifying suitable properties, or receiving proceeds; such issues can disqualify the exchange and trigger taxes.
California follows federal guidance for 1031 exchanges, with state tax rules and reporting that should be discussed with a tax advisor.
