1031 Exchange FAQs
Does California have any special 1031 Exchange rules or regulations?
California has a clawback provision. This means that if you are going to exchange from CA to another state, deferred taxes will become payable to California when the Replacement Property is sold and no further exchange is performed. Click here for more information
What are the benefits of doing an exchange?
1031 Exchanges have many benefits for real estate investors. The most obvious one is to allow the taxpayer to move between real estate investments without having to pay capital gains taxes. It allows taxpayers to add value, increase cash flow and in some cases reduce or eliminate management headaches.
How long do I have to do a Tax Deferred Exchange?
The exchange timelines are very simple. The taxpayer has 45 days from the close of escrow to identify the property or properties they would like to purchase. They have an additional 135 days after the 45th day to close on one of the identified properties. The total time period is 180 days or the date your tax return is due. If you close after Oct 16th you will need to file an extension on your tax return to get the full 180 days.
What if my Replacement Property is less than my sales price of my Relinquished Property?
You are able to do a Partial Exchange where the Replacement Property is less than your Relinquished Property. The difference between the net sales price of the Relinquished Property and the net purchase price of the Replacement Property would be considered boot and would be taxable.
Can I do a 1031 Exchange for my primary home, vacation home or second home?
1031 Exchanges are only for investment or business use properties. A primary residence has its own separate tax code IRC Section 121. Vacation homes that are not rented or a second home would be subject to taxes upon a sale. With proper advance planning these properties could be converted into investment property and exchanged.
How do I get started with my 1031 Exchange?
The best way to get the exchange process started is to get us in touch with the escrow officer or settlement agent handling the sale of your Relinquished Property. You can give me a call at (626) 233-2773 or click here for my online Start an Exchange form.
