How to Defer Taxes with a 1031 Exchange
In the simplest terms, a 1031 exchange is a tax deferred swap of one asset for another of like-kind. It is widely used by property investors, and net lease properties have become popular replacement properties for investors due to the long-term nature of the leases, the rental income and the limited management responsibilities. However, despite their prevalence, 1031 exchanges can be complex and remain confusing to many investors.

1031 Rule Disclaimer
In a 1031 transaction the capital gains taxes are deffered, not eliminated. It is important to note that when the replacement property is ultimately sold the original deferred gain and any additional gains on the replacement property will be subject to tax. The exception being if the replacement property is sold as part of another 1031 exchange. Taxpayers must report an exchange to the IRS on Form 8824, Like-Kind Exchanges and file it with their tax return for the year in which the exchange occured. While 1031 exchanges require careful planning and close oversight, they are a powerful tool to preserve an investor's purchasing power.
