A Short Summary of 1031 Exchanges
In a 1031 exchange, the 1031 tax law (IRC section 1031) requires that capital gains NOT be recognized. Today, most investment real estate is transacted with a 1031 real estate exchange (aka 1031 exchange). In order to do a 1031 exchange, you must want to exchange investment real estate for other investment real estate. Although other tangible assets qualify for 1031 exchange, the most common 1031 exchange is the real estate exchange. The 1031 tax law which requires deferral of capital gains taxes on real estate exchanges also requires deferral of capital losses in a 1031 exchange. An investor should therefore avoid a 1031 exchange when recognition of capital loss is desired. The 1031 tax law has allowed for deferral of capital gains in real estate exchanges since the late 1930s, when this 1031 exchange tax law was first enacted. However, only since the famous Starker Case in 1970 have delayed 1031 real estate exchange allowed for the deferral of capital gains. In a delayed 1031 exchange, the 1031 real estate exchange involves the sale of the relinquished property to one person and the purchase of the replacement property from a different person within 180 days. The tax law allows for the deferral of capital gains in this type of 1031 real estate exchange.
