A 1031 Exchange allows real estate investors to defer capital gains and depreciation recapture taxes when selling an investment property by reinvesting the proceeds into a new "like-kind" investment property within strict IRS timelines.
Boot in a 1031 Exchange refers to any non-like-kind property, such as cash or debt relief, received by an investor that triggers immediate taxation on the lesser of the realized gain or the fair market value of the boot received, thereby partially negating the tax-deferred benefits of the exchange.
A Qualified Intermediary (QI) is a neutral third party that facilitates a 1031 exchange by holding sale proceeds from a relinquished property and using them to acquire a replacement property, preventing the taxpayer from having constructive receipt of funds and ensuring tax deferral.
A replacement property is a real estate asset acquired in a 1031 exchange to defer capital gains taxes on the sale of a previous investment property, provided it meets specific "like-kind" and value requirements.
Tax deferral is the legal postponement of paying taxes on investment gains or income until a future date, allowing capital to remain invested and grow through compounding.
Tax implications in real estate refer to the various taxes, deductions, and credits that affect an investor's profitability and financial obligations, encompassing income, property, capital gains, and estate taxes.
