Part 7: 1031 Exchanges

27

Posted by Collette | Posted in Tax Credits | Posted on 18-03-2010

 A 1031 exchange may allow investors to defer all capital gains taxes.

With a 1031 transaction, investment property is exchanged for “like” real estate. The basic requirements are that within 45 days after the “relinquished” property has been sold, a “replacement” property must be identified. The identified replacement property must then be acquired within 180 days after the sale of the relinquished property.

What’s important about a 1031 exchange is that the capital gains tax on the relinquished property is deferred — but it does not disappear. What really happens is that the basis for the new property (the “replacement property”) is reduced by the adjusted value of the “relinquished property” (the old property).

A 1031 exchange is complex and requires the services of a “qualified intermediary.” Among other tasks, a qualified intermediary holds the money from the sale of the relinquished property and applies it to the purchase of the replacement real estate. This must be done because under the rules for 1031 exchanges, the seller of a relinquished property cannot touch money from the sale — it must be held by the qualified intermediary.

Accounting for a 1031 exchange is also complex. Essentially there is a need to figure out the sale value of the relinquished property, add back depreciation and account for financing. I would like to offer you a free guide that talks in more detail about 1031 exchanges that’s well worth reviewing before meeting with a tax pro.  Email me at collette.mckee@academy.cc and I’ll send it to you a copy immediately.
