FAQ
When you exchange one North Carolina mountain property for another and defer the payment of state and federal capital gains tax, Section 1031 of the IRS code states that both properties have to be of like kind. This means that the properties must be held either for investment or for a productive use in a business or
Gain deferred in a like-kind exchange under IRC Section 1031 is tax-deferred, but it is not tax-free. The exchange can include like-kind property exclusively or it can include like-kind property along with cash, liabilities and property that are not like-kind.
Broadly stated, a 1031 exchange (also called a like-kind exchange or a Starker) is a swap of one business or investment asset for another. Although most swaps are taxable as sales, if you come within 1031, you'll either have no tax or limited tax due at the time of the exchange.
Your basis is equal to the amount you originally paid for the property, plus any improvements you made, minus depreciation deductions. For example, say you have a rental house located at 589 Santa Sophia Ave. You bought the property for $80,000 and paid a total of $40,000 for foundation and roof work.
To receive the full benefit of a 1031 exchange, your replacement property should be of equal or greater value. You must identify a replacement property for the assets sold within 45 days and then conclude the exchange within 180 days. There are three rules that can be applied to define identification.
A 1031 exchange gets its name from Section 1031 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, which allows you to avoid paying capital gains taxes when you sell an investment property and reinvest the proceeds from the sale within certain time limits in a property or properties of like kind and equal or greater value.
Trade up in real estate value with one or more replacement properties. Reinvest all of your 1031 exchange proceeds from the relinquished property into the replacement property.
Normally a 1031 exchange is used to defer the capital gains tax owed by reinvesting 100% of the proceeds from the sale of a relinquished property into the new replacement property.
