Reporting a reverse 1031 exchange on your tax return doesn’t require too much work above a regular 1031 exchange. However, if you have done more than one reverse 1031 exchange, you’ll need to file forms for each one, which can certainly add to your workload at tax time.
What Can You Buy With a 1031 Exchange?
A 1031 exchange is an investment and tax tactic that gets its name from Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Who Takes Title In a 1031 Exchange?
In a typical 1031 exchange, an investor decides to sell a property and reinvest the proceeds.

Assuming that the investor has held the asset for more than one year, the taxes will be assessed at the long-term capital gains rate, which is typically lower than the tax rate for ordinary income but can still be as much as 20 percent.
