Defer or Avoid Capital Gains Tax With 1031 Exchanges
If you own a significant piece of property you may be required to pay a 15 percent capital gains tax when you sell it. There is a way to avoid or defer those taxes with an IRS Section 1031 exchange. Basically, a 1031 exchange allows you to avoid or defer taxes owed for the sale of a property, by exchanging it for a second property. A lawyer will need to execute this transaction for you, as well as explain the pros and cons and tax ramifications. A 1031 exchange can be used for the sale of a farm, a parcel of undeveloped land, or for developed residential or commercial property. However, a 1031 exchange may not be used for your principle place of residence.
