Defer capital gains with 1031. QI, replacement, deadlines.
1031 like-kind exchanges defer capital gains tax on real estate sales by reinvesting proceeds in like-kind replacement property. Critical rules: proceeds go to a Qualified Intermediary (QI), not the seller; replacement property identified within 45 days; replacement closed within 180 days. Get the rules right and defer tax indefinitely. Get them wrong and the entire transaction is taxable. We coordinate the QI and replacement entity setup.
How we handle 1031 Exchange, end-to-end.
1031 like-kind exchanges defer capital gains tax on real estate sales by reinvesting proceeds in like-kind replacement property.
QI engagement
Qualified Intermediary holds proceeds during the exchange. Must be engaged before the relinquished property closes. Without a QI, you take possession of proceeds and disqualify the exchange. We refer to vetted QIs.
Relinquished property sale
Property sold per normal closing. QI receives proceeds at closing (you never take possession). Sale closing date starts the 45-day and 180-day clocks.
Identification (45 days)
Identify replacement property in writing within 45 days. Three rules: identify up to 3 properties (any value), or unlimited but total value cannot exceed 200% of relinquished property value, or 95% rule. We help select.
Replacement close (180 days)
Close on replacement property within 180 days of relinquished sale. Replacement entity (often a new LLC) takes title. QI releases proceeds to fund the purchase. Exchange complete.
