Tax in Action: Practical Strategies for Tax Pros

The 1031 Exchange Basics

Listen Later

Jeremy Wells breaks down the fundamentals of Section 1031 exchanges, explaining how real estate investors can defer capital gains taxes by swapping properties rather than selling and buying separately. He clarifies common misconceptions about these transactions, walks through the strict timing requirements including the 45-day identification and 180-day completion rules, and examines court cases that reveal when the IRS challenges whether replacement properties were truly intended for investment purposes. The discussion covers qualifying property types, disqualified persons, and the practical mechanics of using qualified intermediaries to facilitate these tax-advantaged exchanges.
