1031 Exchange Explained

1031 Exchange Explained

A tax-deferred exchange is a method by which a property owner trades one or more relinquished investment properties for one or more replacement investment properties of like-kind, while deferring the payment of federal income taxes and some state taxes on the transaction. In turn, IRC section 1031 provides that no gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange of investment property held for productive use in a trade or business. 1031 Exchanges are useful in a wide variety of circumstances. They provide excellent opportunities for resourceful property owners to create transactions which would not be possible through a sale/purchase format. The overriding advantage of exchanging lies in the ability to move equity from investment property to investment property without having to pay the capital gains taxes. exchangers can create an entire investment program using the wide variety of benefits available, and a property owner can move successively from one 1031 exchange to another any number of times.
