1031 Exchanges

A 1031 Exchange is one of the most powerful tax deferral strategies still remaining for accredited investors. Taxpayers often want to avoid paying income taxes on the sale of property if they intend to reinvest the proceeds in similar or like-kind property. A 1031 Exchange offers an opportunity to sell property and replace it with an income generating property using 100 percent of the sale proceeds while deferring some or all of the taxes on the transaction. For example, farm land can be exchanged for an apartment complex, a rental vacation home, office or other commercial property or any type of property that is held for investment. The range of real property that will qualify for tax deferral opens up many options for land owners such as farmers to diversify their investments and obtain cash flow without having to be involved in the management of the acquired replacement property. The dividends paid by the investment may provide a substantial income for as long as they own the property. Oftentimes this may result in more than what they would receive in land rent.

Important 1031 Facts

1. Taxes from the sale of farmland or other real property may be deferred when the proceeds are used to purchase like-kind property.
2. All proceeds from the sale must be handled by a “qualified intermediary” (QI) and cannot be received by the seller or his/her agents. The entire cash proceeds from the original sale not reinvested into like-kind property will likely be subject to capital gains. The investor often has discretion over how much tax they have to pay.
3. It is important to know the TWO TIMELINES you need to abide by: The Identification Period (45 days from date of closing) and The Exchange Period (180 days from date of closing).
4. The replacement property must be subject to an equal or greater level of debt than the property sold or as a result the buyer could be forced to pay tax on the percentage difference.
