1031 Exchange FAQs
How do I know if a 1031 is right for me?

What are the 1031 Exchange rules for Pennsylvania?
New Pennsylvania law now recognizes 1031 state tax deferrals. As of January 1, 2023, the PA state tax of 3.07% can now be deferred. Unlike other states, when real estate was sold, PA did not permit taxpayers to defer state taxes via a 1031 Exchange – only federal taxes could be deferred. This changed when PA Governor Tom Wolf signed House Bill 1342 into law.
However, there are still local law issues, i.e., Philadelphia does not recognize IRC Section 1031 for purposes of the gross receipts portion of the BIRT.
What are the benefits of doing a Tax Deferred Exchange?
Some key benefits of doing a 1031 Exchange include:
• Reducing management burdens (no more the terrible “T”s) such as not having to be a landlord anymore (if buy DST/NNN)
• Estate planning such as leaving property to kids in stepped up basis up death
• Cash flow (restarting depreciation) to make more money
• Conversion such as converting 2nd/vacation home to rental or vice versa
