1031 Exchange Basics
What is an IRC 1031 Exchange?
Whenever you sell business or investment property and you have a gain, you generally have to pay tax on the gain at the time of sale. IRC Section 1031 provides an exception and allows you to postpone paying tax on the gain if you reinvest the proceeds in similar property as part of a qualifying like-kind exchange. Gain deferred in a like-kind exchange under IRC Section 1031 is tax-deferred, but it is not tax-free.
How Long Do I have to Identify?
The exchanger has 45 days from the close of escrow to identify replacement property.
How long do I have to purchase the replacement property?
The exchanger has 180 days to close escrow on the replacement properties.
What is Like Kind-Property?
In a 1031 Exchange, the replacement property, must be like-kind in relation to the relinquished property. In general, any real estate that's held for business or investment purposes in the US or US Virgin Islands in considered "like kind".
Do all Proceeds have to be reinvested?
The replacement property must be of equal or greater than the value of the property being relinquished, in order to obtain full deferral.
Do the titles have to be identical?
The ownership title for both the relinquished property and the replacement property must be identical.
Rules of Property Identification
3-Property Rule
