A 1031 exchange, also known as a like-kind exchange or tax-deferred exchange, is where the real property that is \u201cheld for productive use in a trade or business or investment\u201d is sold. The proceeds from the sale are then reinvested into a like-kind property intended for business or investment use, allowing the taxpayer, or seller, to defer the capital gains tax and depreciation recapture on the transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Differences Between Relinquished Property and Replacement Property<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The property sold as part of a 1031 exchange is the Relinquished Property. The property purchased is the Replacement Property. The replacement property must be like-kind<\/a>; most real estate is like-kind to all other real estate. For example, an office building could be exchanged for a rental duplex, a retail shopping center could be exchanged for farmland, etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a 1031 exchange, neither the taxpayer nor an agent of the taxpayer can receive or control the funds from the sale of the property. If a taxpayer has direct or indirect access to the funds, a 1031 exchange is no longer valid. A qualified intermediary holds the proceeds of the Relinquished Property sale until it is time to transfer those proceeds for the close of the Replacement property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1031 Exchange Eligibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To be eligible for a 1031 exchange the person or entity must be a US tax-paying identity. This includes individuals, partnerships, S-corporations, C-corporations, LLCs, and trusts. However, it is a requirement that the same taxpayer sells the relinquished property and purchases the replacement property for a valid exchange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1031 exchanges were first authorized in 1921 because Congress saw the importance of people reinvesting in business assets and they wanted to encourage more of it. There have been changes and additions to the regulations that govern these exchanges, and the most recent changes impacting real estate in a 1031 exchange were in 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
