1031 Tax Deferred Exchanges

Benefits of a 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange

The tax deferred exchange allows an individual to move existing equity interests in one asset into equity in a like-kind asset without current taxation. Assets are considered like-kind if they are of a similar nature and character. Certain assets, such as stocks, bonds, notes, and inventory do not qualify for tax deferred exchanges.

A reverse exchange occurs when an asset is acquired before the like-kind asset is disposed of. In this situation, form over substance generally applies. How the transaction is handled is extremely important. At Palmer Law Group LLC, we have extensive experience with 1031 tax deferred exchanges. We will facilitate your transaction, ensuring it is done properly.
