Does A 1031 Exchange Free Up Passive Losses?

A passive loss occurs from a capital loss, or selling a property for less than you paid for it. The only time it is possible for an investor to utilize their Passive Activity Losses (PALs) is during a 1031 exchange. A PAL is one of two types of losses that can arise from owning investment property. The other type of loss is a Net Operating Loss (NOL). A NOL occurs when expenses of the operation of a property exceed the income.

What Is The 1031 Exchange Form 8824, And How Do I Fill It Out?

What Is The 1031 Exchange Form 8824, And How Do I Fill It Out?

IRS Form 8824 is used to report a 1031 exchange for the tax year in which you complete it. Execution of the form calculates the amount of gain deferred due to a like-kind exchange of property. The IRS considers the deal completed in the tax year that you sell the initial relinquished property, and the exchange period begins. If the replacement process is not fully consummated until the following tax year, then the Form 8824 will not be final until that process is complete, which may require leeway in tax reporting deadlines. If you do not finalize the replacement purchase or purchases until the next tax year, you will need to request an extension for tax filing due to that circumstance.
