Your 1031 exchange must be reported by completing Form 8824 and filing it along with your federal income tax return. If you completed more than one exchange, a different form must be completed for each exchange. For line-by-line instructions on how to complete form, download the instructions here.
Lack of Liquidity- Exchanging properties continually can tie up funds in real estate, making it hard for an investor to access liquid capital if required. While real estate can be a profitable investment, it's not as liquid as some other assets.
This means that you cannot perform a 1031 exchange between a U.S. property and a non-U.S. property. If your relinquished property is located within the United States, then your replacement property must also be located within the United States (or certain U.S. territories) to qualify for 1031 tax deferral.
Section 1031(f) provides that if a Taxpayer exchanges with a related party then the party who acquired the property in the exchange must hold it for 2 years or the exchange will be disallowed.
Since 1991, IRC § 1031 has required the use of an impartial third party to hold the proceeds from the Relinquished Property sale until the close on the Replacement Property. This third party is known as a qualified intermediary.
After completing a 1031 exchange, you must report the transaction to the IRS using Form 8824 to maintain the transaction's tax-deferred status. You must file the form with your annual income tax return for the year in which the exchange was completed.
While an investor can choose which property to sell (exchange) and identify replacement properties, the investor/taxpayer may not control or have access to the funds in between those two events. For that reason, the use of a qualified intermediary is necessary.
