What you need to know today: the like-kind exchange strategy

A 1031 exchange (like-kind exchange) is one of the most significant tax advantages available to a real estate investor selling a property with large realized gains.  By implementing this tax strategy, it is possible to defer tax payments on the sale of an investment property indefinitely. While like-kind exchanges are common, there are still many complexities to navigate.  Given some of the proposed legislative changes put forth by the Biden administration and members of Congress, it may make sense to accelerate transactions into the 2021 tax year.

Like-Kind Exchange: What Real Property Can Do For You

The IRS recently released long awaited guidance on Sec. 1031 (like-kind exchanges) and defines what property qualifies for the deferred tax treatment. With the enactment of Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), rules provide that no gain or loss is recognized on the sale or exchange of “real property” held in a trade or business or for investment. Prior to the TCJA, “personal property” (like automobiles, machinery or equipment) applied for the deferral. This change means a real estate investor recognizes gain to the extent of money and personal property ineligible for the tax deferral.

Deadline to Defer 2018 Gains in Opportunity Zone Investment is June 28

Within the Real Estate world, by now we know that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted a new opportunity to incentivize real estate investment and development in low-income communities across the country through Qualified Opportunity Zones (“QO Zones”).
