That being said, 1031 exchanges come with their own sets of rules and regulations that need to be followed. Let\u2019s take a look at 1031 exchange rules and requirements!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>1031 Exchange Timeline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All 1031 exchanges regardless of the type have a 45-day identification period and a 180-day exchange period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a 1031 exchange to be in accordance with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/26\/1031\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IRC \u00a7 1031<\/a>, within 45 days of the close of the sale of the Relinquished Property the taxpayer must identify their potential replacement property(ies) in writing to the qualified intermediary. The replacement property(ies) description must be unambiguous and specific using a physical address or legal description.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>1031 Exchange Property Identification Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In relation to the 45-day identification period, there are rules that a taxpayer must follow when identifying their potential replacement property(ies). There are three distinct identification rules that the taxpayer can use, and they can choose the appropriate rule for their specific exchange situation. The three rules are as follows:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The 3-Property Rule <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A taxpayer can identify up to three properties without regard to the fair market value of the properties and they must close on at least one of the identified properties for the exchange to be valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The 200% Rule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A taxpayer can identify more than three properties, but the fair market value of all properties combined cannot exceed 200% of the fair market value of the Relinquished Property(ies).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The 95% Rule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A taxpayer can identify infinite properties, the combined value of which exceeds 200% of the value of what they sold, but they must acquire at least 95% of the fair market value of the properties they identify.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All 1031 exchanges have a 180-day time limit starting from the day of the close on the sale of the Relinquished Property. If the taxpayer has not completed the purchase of the Replacement Property before or on day 180, then the exchange is closed and the taxpayer must recognize and pay taxes on the proceeds from their Relinquished Property sale. There are no extensions or exceptions available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve got more questions about 1031 exchange rules and requirements, <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/real-estate-agents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contact your local Land Professional today!<\/a> And if you want to stay up to date with everything National Land Realty, like our page on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nationallandrealty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">Facebook!<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1031 exchanges are a fantastic way for landowners to increase their land holdings and diversify their investment portfolio after selling their property.
