How Do 1031 Exchanges Work?
In the simplest terms, a 1031 Exchange allows a taxpayer to defer the recognition of capital gains tax due from the sale of investment property by replacing the sold property with a "like-kind" property of the same or greater value. Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code originally applied to personal property as well as real estate, but was amended by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to remove exchanges of intangible and personal property. To successfully defer the capital gain, the taxpayer must use the profit from the sale to purchase a like-kind property within 180 days.
What Is A Reverse 1031 Exchange?
A 1031 exchange offers an opportunity for investors to reinvest the capital gains from selling an investment property without diverting a portion of the gain to pay capital gains taxes. This tactic can increase the buying power the investor can put to work in their next purchase, but it's a complex transaction, and strict rules and tight timelines govern it. For example, in an ordinary 1031 exchange, the clock starts ticking as soon as the investor sells the initial property, referred to as the relinquished asset.

What Is a Clawback in a 1031 Exchange?
The 26 U.S. Internal Revenue Code § 1031 is a handy tool if you own real estate used for trade or investment purposes and want to sell it without immediately triggering taxes on the capital gain on that sale. However, as we’ve mentioned in a previous blog, the like-kind exchange functions on a federal level. You can do a state-to-state 1031 exchange, which involves swapping your relinquished property in one state for a replacement property in another.
