Benefits of a 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange

Taxpayers can avoid capital gains taxes until an exchanged property is sold and cash proceeds are received. Proceeds that would ordinarily be paid to the government in the form of taxes are preserved and utilized to achieve higher levels of income and asset appreciation.

Reasons to exchange include:

• The ability to exchange into assets with an opportunity for greater cash flow.
• Relocation of assets anywhere within the United States.
• Diversification or consolidation of a portfolio.
• Heirs may receive a "stepped-up" basis for inherited properties.

Type of Exchanges

An exchange or sale of property generally results in the recognition of a gain or loss. No gain or loss is recognized if property that is held for productive use in a trade or business is exchanged solely for property of a like-kind.

Exchanges can be classified as:

• Reverse 1031 Exchanges
• Forward 1031 Exchanges
• Personal Property Exchanges
• Delayed 1031 Exchanges
• Build-to-Suit Exchanges

Any asset held for productive use in a trade or business, or held for investment, may be exchanged for a like-kind asset that will also be held for productive use in a trade or business, or held for reinvestment.
