2024 Year-End Tax Planning

Exchanges Over Two Tax Years May Be Treated As An Installment Sale

In a delayed exchange transaction structured to satisfy the requirements of §1031, an exchanger has up to 180 calendar days to acquire like-kind replacement property measured from the day the relinquished property is sold. Once initiated, the delayed exchange may be successfully completed (resulting in complete tax deferral), partially completed (resulting in recognition of some capital gain) or it may fail if no like-kind replacement property is acquired (resulting in the recognition of all capital gain generated by the sale). If the exchange begins in one tax year and extends into the subsequent tax year, the question arises whether the gain realized on the sale is recognized in the year in which the relinquished property was sold or in the subsequent year in which the exchanger received the cash sale proceeds from the qualified intermediary.

In a perfect world, gain would be recognized in the subsequent year when the proceeds were actually received by the exchanger. In many cases, this turns out to be wholly or partially true.

Important Information for Investors Beginning an Exchange

If your 1031 exchange is not complete by the due date for your tax return, you may need to file for an extension.

The time frame you have to complete the acquisition of your replacement property ends at midnight on the earlier of: (a) the 180th day after the date you transferred the relinquished property; OR (b) the due date (including extensions) for your income tax return for the taxable year in which the transfer of the relinquished property occurs. (U.S. Treasury Regulations section 1.1031(k)-1(b)(2)).

This means, if your relinquished property sale closes after October 17, 2024, your 180th day deadline to acquire replacement property will fall after the common 2024 tax return due date of April 15, 2025. In order to receive the full 180-day period to acquire replacement property, you must file an application for extension of time with the IRS to extend the due date for your 2024 tax return. If you do not file for an extension, you will NOT be able to acquire any replacement property in your exchange after your tax return due date. Taxpayers may have different tax return due dates. Please consult with your tax advisor to determine your tax return due date, and whether you will need to file for an extension.

If you have any questions, please contact your tax advisor.
