1. What are the components of a tax-deferred exchange?
The exchanger must document thoroughly throughout the exchange that he/she is conducting a tax-deferred exchange. This documentation can easily be accomplished by utilizing an independent exchange facilitator.
Exchanger must designate replacement properties in writing he/she may purchase to replace the sold property within 45 days. Exchanger must close on new property within 180 days of sale of old property.
Exchange facilitator steps in and sells exchanger's initial property after the exchanger has approved the sale terms. Exchange facilitator then hold proceeds of sale for a period not to exceed 180 days. Once exchanger secures a purchase agreement on new property, exchanger facilitator steps in for exchanger and purchases the desired new property and arranges to deed new property to the exchanger.
2. Why should I exchange?
Exchange will defer federal, and in many cases, state taxes on appreciation and depreciation.
Exchange will acquire the right kind of investment property for your situation. You can exchange almost any type of real property for almost any other type of real property. Exchanging is remarkably flexible to meet your needs.
Exchanging builds a person's wealth. Selling an investment property with a taxable gain (combination of appreciation and depreciation) results in a federal tax liability of at least 20% of the gain. This can be entirely deferred. The result is deferred taxes remain in the exchanger's portfolio invested in another property more suited to the investor's current needs. Exchange costs are minimal.
