What Is a 1031 Exchange?

A 1031 exchange, also known as a like-kind exchange, is a transaction allowed under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. It permits property owners to defer capital gains taxes when selling one investment or business property and purchasing another of equal or greater value.

Key benefits of a 1031 exchange include:

  • Tax Deferral: Postpone paying capital gains taxes on property sales.
  • Portfolio Growth: Reinvest proceeds into higher-value or more profitable properties.
  • Estate Planning Advantages: Structure your investments for long-term financial growth.

However, the process involves strict timelines and regulations that require meticulous attention to detail.

  • Timelines Compliance: Meeting the 45-day identification period and 180-day closing deadline for replacement properties.
  • Use of a Qualified Intermediary (QI): Collaborating with a third-party intermediary to facilitate the exchange and ensure compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions About 1031 Exchanges
