What is a 1031 Exchange?

Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code allows a taxpayer to defer or postpone the payment of capital gains tax from the sale of investment real estate if the proceeds are reinvested into "like-kind" property. You must have held the relinquished property and you must hold the replacement property for investment or for productive use in a trade or business. A 1031 Exchange, or tax free exchange, is when you trade one property for another without having to pay any federal taxes on the transaction. In an ordinary real estate transaction, the property owner is taxed on any gain realized by the sale of the property. But in a 1031 Exchange, the tax on the transaction is deferred until some time in the future, usually when the newly acquired property is sold. Specifically, when you sell real estate, you have to pay taxes on the gain from the sale of the property. This gain is either caused by the real estate property appreciating over time or by taking depreciation deductions for tax purposes. A 1031 Exchange offers you an exception to the imposition of the capital gains tax, pursuant to the IRS Code. With a 1031 Exchange, when you sell business or investment real estate, you can defer the payment of the tax that is due on the sale. If your objective is to use the proceeds from the sale of your property to buy more business or investment real estate, a 1031 Exchange can provide you with more funds for investment than would be available through the investment of after-tax proceeds.  Pleat & Perry, P.A. will provide all of the necessary 1031 Tax Exchange documents and will deposit your funds into an interest bearing escrow account. Their staff is dedicated to serving you in the most efficient, professional, and expeditious manner possible. We look forward to assisting you in your real estate transaction. $1,000 Intermediary Fee: This is the minimal fee for participation in a basic exchange, the disposition of your Relinquished Property and the acquisition of one of your Replacement Properties.
