Understanding which taxes are deferred and how to calculate your potential tax liability is crucial for anyone considering this investment strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Four Levels of Taxes Deferred in a 1031 Exchange<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Depreciation Recapture Tax: <\/strong>Depreciation is the reduction in a property\u2019s value over time due to wear and tear. When you sell a property, the IRS \u201crecaptures\u201d the accumulated depreciation you claimed at a 25% rate. This tax applies solely to improvements made to real estate, not to land itself, since land does not depreciate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Federal Capital Gains Tax: <\/strong>Capital gains are the profits you make when you sell a property for more than you paid for it. Short-term gains apply to property held for one year or less. These gains are taxed at ordinary federal income tax rates (up to 37%). Long-term gains apply to property held for more than one year and receive preferential tax rates of either 15% or 20%, depending on income and filing status. As of 2026, single filers with a taxable income greater than $545,500 and married couples filing jointly with over $613,700 in taxable income are subject to the 20% tax rate, while taxpayers below these thresholds are taxed at 15%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>State Income Tax: <\/strong>State income tax rates vary from 0% to 13.3%, depending on where your property is located. Since state laws differ, always check with a qualified tax advisor to determine the state-specific tax requirements that will affect your transaction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Net Investment Income Tax: <\/strong>The Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) is a 3.8% federal tax on net investment income, such as capital gains and rental income. It applies only if your modified adjusted gross income is above $200,000 for single filers or $250,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly. The NIIT applies only to the portion of income that exceeds these income thresholds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tax Liability Formulas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the following formulas to estimate the taxes from your property sale that could be deferred with a 1031 exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, calculate your adjusted cost basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adjusted Cost Basis = Original Purchase Price<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;+ Capital Improvements<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8211; Depreciation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, use the previously calculated adjusted cost basis to determine your capital gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capital Gains = Sales Price<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8211; Closing Costs (commissions, fees, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8211; Adjusted Cost Basis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tax due is the total tax liability you would owe if you do not utilize a 1031 exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Total Tax Due = Depreciation Recapture (Accumulated Depreciation x 25%)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;+ Federal Capital Gain Tax (Capital Gains x 15% or 20%)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;+ State Tax (up to 13.3%)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;+ Net Investment Income Tax (Net Investment Income x 3.8%)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calculating your exact tax liability can be complex and depends on your unique situation. For a quick estimate of the taxes you could defer with a 1031 exchange, use Land 1031\u2019s online calculator.

With a BS in Mathematical Sciences and a minor in Business Administration from Clemson University, Savannah combines analytical skill with a natural ability to communicate clearly. Before joining National Land Realty, Savannah built a diverse background across customer service, financial handling, and client relationship roles. At Publix, she worked in the Customer Service Office, where she was responsible for cash management, balancing tills and safes, overseeing money services, and supervising front-end staff during daily operations. She later transitioned into life insurance as a Sales Agent at Kemper Life Insurance, where she managed and expanded a book of business, educated Greenville residents on the importance of financial protection, and built lasting client relationships. Savannah most recently worked as a Closing Key Holder at Foxcroft Wine Company, where she handled end-of-day financial reporting, managed QuickBooks entries, supervised staff, and ensured smooth nightly operations. Outside of work, Savannah enjoys reading, learning new things, and spending time with family and friends. She lives in Greenville, South Carolina, with her Maine Coon cat, Merlin. She also loves to travel, and her favorite destination so far has been Portugal.","sameAs":["https:\/\/nationalland.com\/real-estate-agent\/savannah-mcguire"],"url":"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/blog\/author\/savannah-mcguire\/"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nationalland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/AdobeStock_1882421220-scaled.jpeg?fit=2560%2C1707&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7sjRT-2ZU","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/164"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11526"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11526\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11531,"href":"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11526\/revisions\/11531"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
