Tax Strategy

1031 Exchange

A 1031 tax exchange is accomplished following a "like-kind" exchange or simultaneous swap of investment properties. To satisfy these requirements, the properties in question must be of similar nature, character or class and held as an investment or for trade.

The majority of real-estate swaps are regarded as "like-kind," but the cost of the replacement property must at least equal the net proceeds procured from the sale of the original property. Moreover, all of the equity procured from the sale of the relinquished asset must be used to purchase the replacement asset.

IRC Section 1031 provides a tax deferment if the gains procured from the sale of a business or investment property are reinvested in a similar property — allowing business and investment property owners to postpone the capital gains tax applied to the sale of their investment.

Who Is Eligible?

Individuals, corporations, partnerships, trusts, LLCs, and all other tax-paying entities are eligible to participate in a 1031 tax exchange.

What Properties Qualify?

The 1031 tax exchange is applied only to business and investment properties. Proceeds from the sale of a primary residence or vacation home are not subject to the provision.

The Replacement Rule

The cost of the replacement property must equal or exceed the net proceeds from the sale of the original property, and all equity must be reinvested.

The Benefit

Defer capital gains taxes and reinvest the full sale proceeds — compounding your real estate wealth without a tax hit at the point of sale.
