Tax Exchanges

Under The United States Internal Revenue Service Code Section 1031, certain real estate transactions are tax-deferred. You can defer paying capital gains tax on the sale of a property if the proceeds from the sale are re-invested in a like-kind replacement property within a specific timeframe.

An asset is considered "like-kind" if it is held to make a profit in a real estate/as an investment. When discussing investments, "like-kind" refers to the underlying asset's characteristics rather than its form. It's possible to trade one type of income property for another.

For instance, you can swap a single-family home for a duplex, a parcel of land for a department store, or a place of business for a residential building for equal or greater value, at fair market value; any permutation will do. The investor can adjust their portfolio to suit the demands of the exchanger better.

Real Estate investors can now look for an alternative investment vehicle, diversify their holdings, grow their portfolio, or synchronize their investments to their long-term goals thanks to a 1031 exchange and its ability to delay paying capital gains taxes.

The income tax on the financial gains or the depreciation recapture you realized by following tax deferred exchanges is typically due whenever you sell the property if you employed depreciation to your advantage. You can defer these payments by continuing down a path, completing another 1031 exchange.

Charges Associated with Property Exchanges

The 1031 replacement property exchanges aren't free, even though deferring capital gains and these taxes is a significant benefit. There are still several closing charges and other fees associated with the purchase and sale of a property. There is debate about which of them may be financed by exchange funds; however, many likely are. It's best to speak with tax experts to determine the fees and costs you might incur during a replacement property deal.

You can also use a 1031 exchange to reset the depreciation clock or purchase an asset with better cash flow. In essence, depreciation enables real estate investors to save on taxes as the personal property ages and depreciates. The benefit is gradually distributed over 27 1/2 years for residential rental units.
