I extend to you a sincere HAPPY HOLIDAYS! 2013 has been a very busy year for all of us involved in 1031 exchanges and it has been a pleasure working with many past clients and new ones as well. In light of the significant increase in exchange activity, I had the pleasure of bringing on many new associates to API who are eager to carry out API’s longstanding tradition of providing excellent service and superior transactional expertise. I wish you and your families a safe and joyous Holiday Season, and I look forward to working with you in 2014.

California Tax Filing Requirement for Exchanges Beginning 1/1/14
|
Under IRC Section 1031, taxpayers can defer capital gains by exchanging real property held for use in a trade or business, or for investment, for other like-kind property. For sellers subject to California income tax, California’s tax law follows federal law for purposes of deferral under Section 1031, so California’s income tax is also deferred. In each case, the deferred capital gain continues as a tax attribute of the replacement property acquired by the taxpayer in the exchange. In the past, taxpayers sometimes used Section 1031 to acquire replacement property outside California in order to avoid California’s income tax in a later taxable sale. Read More… |
