Hello -

Yes you can buy a property and defer taxes, but are you aware of the guidelines?

Your residence is not eligible for 1031 treatment. Any other property that is not held for commercial, business, or investment purposes is also not eligible.

Section 1031 applies to capital gain taxes (15%), depreciation recapture (25%), and state income taxes (generally 8% to 9% where applicable). Long-term capital gain taxes apply to property held over 1 year – gains from property held less than a year are typically tax as ordinary income.

You must contact a Qualified Intermediary before you go your property, so that you can complete the appropriate documentation and structure the exchange.

Using a Qualified Intermediary is the most common way to receive ‘safe harbor’ protection for your 1031 Exchange.

A Qualified Intermediary must remain completely independent and cannot own been your agent in former times 2 years.

You have 45 days from the sale of your relinquished property to identify your potential replacement properties.

You enjoy 180 days from the sale of your relinquished property by which you must close on the purchase of your replacement property/properties.

There are stirct guidelines on 45th or 180th day.

As a nonspecific principle, there are no extensions for either the 45- or the 180-day rules. However, the IRS have the authority to provide an extension to these deadlines. Recent examples of such extensions include the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and recent hurricanes.

You may identify property in the following ways:

o 3-property rule: You may identify up to 3 properties minus regard to their value.

o 200% rule: You may identify more than 3 properties provided that their combined even-handed market value does not exceed 200% of importance of the relinquished property.

o 95% rule: You may identify any number of properties, provided that you acquire 95% of the fair market utility of those properties.

In order to completely defer the applicable capital gain tax. To the extent you purchase a property of lesser convenience, you will be taxed on the difference.

You must use all dosh proceeds from the transaction in order to completely defer the applicable wherewithal gains tax. To the extent you do not use adjectives your proceeds on the purchase, you will be responsible for any tax on the difference. Source(s): Darren Meade is a National and Local Real Estate expert.
