He writes that Section 1031 like-kind exchanges are particularly good for the IRS as they spur economic growth and encourage owners to upgrade assets, generating greater tax income from greater tax basis.

Multi-Association Letter Sent to the Chairs and Ranking Members of the Senate Finance Committee and House Ways & Means Committee 3/25/15

A letter to leaders of the House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance Committee, and to members of the Senate Finance Business Income Tax Working Group was sent on Friday, March 13, 2015. The letter strongly urges legislators to retain Section 1031 in its current form. The letter points out the importance of like-kind exchanges to American businesses, to the U.S. economy and to job creation. Several strong reasons for the law’s 100-year existence in the code are given. The authors conclude by stating that the effects of a limitation or repeal of Section 1031 would likely not be offset by a lower corporate tax rate. Thirty-six organizations, including the Federation of Exchange Accommodators, signed the letter. Click here to read

Why pro growth tax reform must preserve like-kind exchanges 2/24/15The Hill, David L. Goodwin

But not all reform proposals effectively safeguard key incentives that fuel domestic investment, new hiring and the enrichment of individual communities. One of the most notable provisions at risk—like-kind exchanges—empowers both businesses and individual property owners to roll over their capital into new investments that spur economic activity across the country.
