How Do You Calculate Basis for a 1031 Exchange?

When discussing 1031 exchanges, the concept of 'basis' becomes crucial. But what does it mean in the context of a 1031 exchange? Essentially, the basis of the replacement property acquired in a 1031 exchange is the same as the basis of the relinquished property, subject to certain adjustments. This basis carries over from your old property to your new one, effectively preserving the deferred gain for potential recognition in the future. It's this ability to defer capital gains taxes through basis transfer that makes 1031 exchanges such a powerful tool for real estate investors.
