Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 is a strategy for individuals who currently own investment or business property and would like to defer taxes upon the sale of the property. By exchanging into another investment or business use property of equal or greater value, a 1031 exchange defers capital gains, depreciation recapture tax, heath care and state taxes. Midland IRA & 1031, headquartered in Fort Myers and Chicago, has created their 1031 Exchanges Made Easy guide to assist individuals in the rules and process of these transactions.
This guides discusses the five basic rules to completing a 1031 exchange including the net selling price, the 180-day and 45-day timeline, what qualifies as investment or business use, and the role of the qualified intermediary. Other topics include the different types of exchanges available, tax and non-tax benefits, contract verbiage, how to get started, and frequently asked questions.
“These transactions are becoming increasingly more popular for real estate investors,” says Dave Owens, president & CEO of Midland. “By utilizing a 1031 exchange individuals could save thousands of dollars in taxes that can be reinvested into a new property.” Midland IRA & 1031 strives to provide complimentary educational information and to be a valuable, trusted resource in the investment community.
