FAQ

You can perform a 1031 exchange with foreign properties, so long as your relinquished and replacement properties are both located outside the United States.

Puerto Rico is a Protectorate of the U.S. but not a “coordinated territory,” therefore real estate in Puerto Rico is not considered “U.S. real estate” for purposes of Section 1031.

Capital Gains Tax Deferral: When a taxpayer sells a residential property in India, they have the option to defer the payment of capital gains taxes by entering into an exchange or transfer instead of a traditional sale. This is similar to the concept of a Section 1031 Exchange in the U.S.

TIMELINE REQUIREMENTS Measured from when the relinquished property closes, the Exchangor has 45 days to nominate (identify) potential replacement properties and 180 days to acquire the replacement property. The exchange is completed in 180 days, not 45 days plus 180 days.

The identification must be in writing, signed by you and delivered to a person involved in the exchange like the seller of the replacement property or the qualified intermediary. However, notice to your attorney, real estate agent, accountant or similar persons acting as your agent is not sufficient.

A primary residence usually does not qualify for an exchange because it is not used in trade or business or investment. That said, that portion of the primary residence that is used in a trade or business or for investment may qualify for a 1031 Exchange.

States like Florida, Texas, and Nevada are great options for 1031 exchanges due to their lack of state income tax and strong real estate markets. On the other hand, states like California, New York, and Oregon can be less attractive due to their high state income tax rates and strict real estate laws.
