An exchange or Like kind exchange is defined by section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. This code specifies that if an asset , usually some form of real estate such as land or a building, is sold and the proceeds of the sale are then reinvested in a like kind of an asset then no gain or loss is recognized, allowing the deferment of capital gains taxes.

Other aspects of Capital Gains and this tax exchange filing include the Following:

  • Starker Exchanges

  • Accommodators

  • Tax Advantages


So how does one defer from capital gains taxes when it comes to property? With Capital Gains and Section 1031, every transaction is different but the principal is the same and the answer is simple: as long as the property you exchange is yours and it is a "Like-Kind" Property, capital gain taxes will be deferred.

Break It Down More
Keep in mind that "deferred" taxes do not mean you do not have to ever pay them. It simply means you pay them at another time, usually when the property you have obtained through an exchange or through Capital Gains is sold. It is still a very smart move to make, and Capital Gains and Section 1031 remains some of real estate's best kept secrets.

In order to qualify certain rules must be followed. Broadly these rules are as follows :

  • Both the relinquished property and the replacement property must be held either for investment or for productive use in a trade or business. A personal residence cannot be exchanged.

  • The asset must be of like kind. Real property must be exchanged for real property. Personal property must be exchanged for personal property.

  • The proceeds of the sale must be invested in a like kind asset within 180 (property must be identified within 45 days) days of the sale.
