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.
