1031 Exchange Summer Update – 2020 – Page 9

The 1031 exchange market nationally has been like a roller coaster this past spring and summer, plummeting down in April and roaring back up starting in June.

In late March and April exchange activity dropped off significantly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic which forced the entire nation to work from home and/or shelter at home. The Treasury provided tax relief to some investors with Notice 2020-23 which extended many deadlines for investors affected by the COVID-19 pandemic including Section 1031 exchange time deadlines. Notice 2020-23 extended the 45-day identification period deadline and 180-day exchange period for certain investors until July 15, 2020. (Note: There is no further extension in place currently.)

The Real Deal: Biden’s Tax Plan Would “Pull the Rug Out” from Under the Real Estate Industry

Joe Biden went after one of the real estate industry’s favorite tax benefits Tuesday when he proposed funding a child- and elderly-care spending platform by closing off a loophole used by property investors.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee proposed eliminating 1031 “like-kind” exchanges for investors with annual incomes greater than $400,000, as part of his plan to finance $775 billion in government spending over the next 10 years on child care and care for the elderly.
