IRS Section § 1031 Basics

"Real estate offers so many tax advantages it is unique in that it can be used to postpone capital gain taxes indefinitely."  www.wellingtonpublications.com/hpr/planning/section5.html "Real Estate"

When income taxes were first imposed in 1918, gain or loss recognition was required on all disposition of property. To allow USA citizens to maintain wealth an IRS provision for non-recognition of gain or loss on the exchange property was introduced in 1921, § 1031. Since inception, there have been five major amendments made to the Tax-Deferred Exchange as we know it today.  The real estate tax deferred exchange gained significant recognition and popularity in the early 1980’s following the case of Starker vs. United States, which created the 180 day Safe Harbor period following the sale of an asset to effectuate an exchange. This procedure is outlined under the Internal Revenue Code Section 1031, and involves a series of rules and regulations that must be met in order to take full advantage of this tax benefit.  Since the mid-1980’s billions of dollars of real estate have been successfully exchanged via this technique.

Getting Started:

Contact 1031 FEC. Though 1031 FEC and Kenneth Wheeler do not offer tax advice or legal advice, we can guide you in the right direction and facilitate the efforts of other professionals who will be working with you to complete the transaction. One needs to consult early with an accountant and other professional advisors. 1031 FEC's goal is to assist, ease, & expedite the § 1031 property transfer process.

What are the Basics of a 1031 Property Exchange?

 A 1031 Exchange is a mechanism that allows one to defer capital gains taxes otherwise incurred at the sale of real estate. 

Basic Criteria:

1. Properties: Simplified, both the old property and the new property must be either land, commercial or rental property (in certain cases, vacation and even personal residential property also qualify). You can exchange property for other IRS recognized like-kind property. For example, office buildings could be sold and apartments purchased or an industrial complex sold and raw land purchased. The buying and selling transactions can be separate events involving different parties, just as they would in any arms-length sale and repurchase of property.

2. Money: You cannot touch the proceeds (money). By law, the proceeds from the sale of your current property must be held with a Safe Harbor "Qualified Intermediary or Qualified Escrow Holder" (sometimes also called an "Accommodator" or a "Facilitator"). You cannot place the proceeds in escrow until the second property is acquired, nor can you have a friend, employee, broker, your CPA or attorney hold the money for you.

3. Timing: From the date you close on the sale of your current property, you have 45 days to determine a list of up to three properties you want to own. Also, from the date of closing of the sale of your current property, you have *180 days to close on the purchase of one or all of the properties listed on your 45-day list. Contact 1031 FEC for more details about this time limit.  *May be less than 180 days with tax date limits.

4. Reinvestment: To avoid taxable gain, you must reinvest in a property of equal or greater value.  To exchange for property of less value may cause prorated tax liability.

5. Title: The title-holder of the old, sold property must remain the title holder of the new property until after the exchange is completed.

1031 Do's and Don'ts

Do advanced planning for the exchange. Visit with your accountant, attorney, broker, lender and Qualified Intermediary (Accommodator).

Do not miss your identification and exchange deadlines. Failure to identify within the 45 day identification period or failure to acquire replacement property within the 180 day exchange period will disqualify the entire exchange. Reputable Intermediaries will not act on back-dated or late identifications.

Do keep in mind these three basic rules to qualify for complete tax deferral:

  • Use all proceeds from the relinquished property for purchasing the replacement property.

  • Make sure the debt on the replacement property is equal to or greater than the debt on the relinquished property. (Exception: A reduction in debt can be offset with additional cash, however, a reduction in equity cannot be offset by increasing debt.

  •  Receive only like-kind replacement property.  The IRS tends to follow a state's property  classification.  Note: IRS Section 1245 real property (accelerated depreciation) can not be exchanged for IRS Section 1250 real property or land.  IRS Section 1245 property is like-kind to many other 1245 properties. (ask 1031 FEC for assistance with like-kind rules)

Do not plan to sell and invest the proceeds in property you already own. Funds applied toward property already owned purchase goods and services, not like-kind property.

Do attempt to sell before you purchase. Occasionally Exchangers find the ideal replacement property before a buyer is found for the relinquished property. If this situation occurs, a reverse exchange (buying before selling) is the only option available. Although there is considerable legal precedent for reverse exchanges, Exchangers should be aware they are considered a more aggressive exchange variation because no clear IRS guidelines exist.

Do not dissolve partnerships or change the manner of holding title during the exchange. A change in the Exchanger's legal relationship with the property may jeopardize the exchange.

 

Boot

 

The term "boot" is not used in the Internal Revenue Code or the Regulations, but is commonly used in discussing the tax consequences of a Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange. Boot received is the money or the fair market value of "other property" received by the taxpayer in an exchange. Money includes all cash equivalents plus liabilities of the taxpayer assumed by the other party, or liabilities to which the property exchanged by the taxpayer is subject. "Other property" is property that is non-like-kind, such as personal property received in an exchange of real property, property used for personal purposes, or "non-qualified property." "Other property" also includes such things as a promissory note received from a buyer (Seller Financing).

 

Any Boot Received In Addition To Like Kind Replacement Property Will Be Taxable (to the extent of gain realized on the exchange). This is okay when a seller desires some cash or debt reduction and is willing to pay some taxes. Otherwise, boot should be avoided in order for a 1031 Exchange to be completely tax-free.

 

 Boot can result from a variety of factors. It is important for a taxpayer to understand what can result in boot if taxable income is to be avoided. The most common sources of boot include the following:

 

  • Cash boot taken from the exchange. This will usually be in the form of net cash received, or the difference between cash received from the sale of the exchange property and cash paid to acquire the replacement property or properties. Net cash received can result when a taxpayer is "trading down" in the exchange so that the replacement property does not cost as much as the exchange property sold for.

 

  • Debt reduction boot which occurs when a taxpayer’s debt on replacement property is less than the debt which was on the exchange property. As with cash boot, debt reduction boot can occur when a taxpayer is trading down in the exchange.

 

  • Sale proceeds being used to pay service costs at closing which are not closing expenses. If proceeds of sale are used to service non-transaction costs at closing, the result is the same as if the taxpayer received cash from the exchange, and then used the cash to pay these costs. Taxpayers are encouraged to bring cash to the closing of the sale of their property to pay for the following non-transaction costs:

 

· Rent proration.

 

· Utility escrow charges.

 

· Tenant damage deposits transferred to the buyer.

 

· Any other charges unrelated to the closing.

  

  • Excess borrowing to acquire replacement property. Borrowing more money than is necessary to close on replacement property will cause cash being held by an Intermediary to be excessive for the closing. Excess cash held by an Intermediary is distributed to the taxpayer, resulting in cash boot to the taxpayer. Taxpayers must use all cash being held by an Intermediary for replacement property. Additional financing must be no more than what is necessary, in addition to the cash, to close on the property.

 

  • Loan acquisition costs with respect to the replacement property which are serviced from exchange funds being brought to the closing. Loan acquisition costs include origination fees and other fees related to acquiring the loan. Taxpayers usually take the position that loan acquisition costs are being serviced from the proceeds of the loan. However, the IRS may take a position that these costs are being serviced from Exchange Funds. This position is usually the position of the financing institution also. There is no guidance in the form of Treasury Regulations on this issue at the present time which is helpful.

 

  • Non-like-kind property which is received from the exchange, in addition to like-kind property (real estate). Non-like-kind property could include the following:

 

  • Seller financing, promissory note.

 

  • Sprinkler equipment acquired with farm land.

 

  • Ditch stock in a mutual irrigation ditch company acquired with farm land (possible issue).

 

  • Big T Water acquired with farm land (possible issue).

 

Acquisition of ditch stock or Big T water is a possible issue with the IRS. Most taxpayers report their exchanges of farm land by taking the position that water on the farm land is indistinguishable from, and the same thing as real estate. The IRS has been known to have a different view.

 

Boot Offset Rules - Only the net boot received by a taxpayer is taxed. In determining the amount of net boot received by the taxpayer, certain offsets are allowed and others are not, as follows:

 

  • Cash boot paid (replacement property) always offsets cash boot received (exchange property).

 

  • Debt boot paid (replacement property) always offsets debt-reduction boot received (exchange property).

 

  • Cash boot paid always offsets debt -reduction boot received.

 

  • Debt boot paid never offsets cash boot received (net cash boot received is always taxable).

 

Exchange expenses (transaction and closing costs) paid (exchange property and replacement property closings) offset net cash boot received.

 

  

 Rules of Thumb Regarding Boot

 

Always trade "across" or up. Never trade down. Trading down always results in boot received, either cash, debt reduction or both. The boot received can be mitigated by exchange expenses paid.

 

Bring cash to the closing of the Exchange Property to cover charges which are not transaction costs (see above).

 

Do not receive property which is not like-kind.

 

Do not over-finance replacement property. Financing should be limited to the amount of money necessary to close on the replacement property in addition to exchange funds which will be brought to the replacement property closing.

 

Basis and Depreciation Consideration

 

The basic concept of a 1031 exchange is that the basis of your old property passes to your replacement new property. In other words, if you sold your old property for $100,000, and bought your replacement new property for the same, your basis on the replacement new property would be the same. It makes sense then that your depreciation schedule would be exactly the same. It is. In other words, one continues the depreciation calculations as if one continues to own the old property (the acquisition date, cost, previous depreciation taken, and remaining un-depreciated basis remain the same).

 

For additional depreciation a property purchase above the minimum replacement property purchase for complete tax deferral is required.

 

One may have an interest deduction for replacement property borrowed funds.

 

1031 FEC recommends your experienced 1031 exchange and personal tax advisor to confirm your tax advantages.

IRS Section § 121 - Sale of Residence (Does not qualify for a 1031 Exchange)

You may qualify to exclude from your income all or part of any gain from the sale of your main home. Your main home is the one in which you live most of the time.

Ownership and Use Tests

To claim the exclusion, you must meet the ownership and use tests. This means that during the 5-year period ending on the date of the sale, you must have:

  • Owned the home for at least two years (the ownership test)
  • Lived in the home as your main home for at least two years (the use test)

Gain

If you have a gain from the sale of your main home, you may be able to exclude up to $250,000 of the gain from your income ($500,000 on a joint return in most cases).

  • If you can exclude all of the gain, you do not need to report the sale on your tax return
  • If you have gain that cannot be excluded, it is taxable. Report it on Schedule D (Form 1040)

Loss

You cannot deduct a loss from the sale of your main home.

Worksheets

Worksheets are included in IRS Publication 523, Selling Your Home, to help you figure the:

  • Adjusted basis of the home you sold
  • Gain (or loss) on the sale
  • Gain that you can exclude

Reporting the Sale

Do not report the sale of your main home on your tax return unless you have a gain and at least part of it is taxable. Report any taxable gain on IRS Schedule D (Form 1040).

More Than One Home

If you have more than one home, you can exclude gain only from the sale of your main home. You must pay tax on the gain from selling any other home. If you have two homes and live in both of them, your main home is ordinarily the one you live in most of the time.

Example One:

You own and live in a house in the city. You also own a beach house, which you use during the summer months. The house in the city is your main home; the beach house is not.

Example Two:

You own a house, but you live in another house that you rent. The rented house is your main home.

Business Use or Rental of Home

You may be able to exclude your gain from the sale of a home that you have used for business or to produce rental income. But you must meet the ownership and use tests.

Example:

On May 30, 1997, Amy bought a house. She moved in on that date and lived in it until May 31, 1999, when she moved out of the house and put it up for rent. The house was rented from June 1, 1999, to March 31, 2001. Amy moved back into the house on April 1, 2001, and lived there until she sold it on January 31, 2003. During the 5-year period ending on the date of the sale (February 1, 1998 - January 31, 2003), Amy owned and lived in the house for more than 2 years as shown in the table below.

Five Year Period Used as Home Used as Rental

2/1/98-5/31/99

16 months

  

6/1/99-3/31/01

  

22 months

4/1/01-1/31/03

22 months

               
 

38 months

22 months

Amy can exclude gain up to $250,000. However, she cannot exclude the part of the gain equal to the depreciation she claimed for renting the house.

Contact 1031 FEC for tax saving alternatives when selling a home with gain above exclusion allowed.

Farm-Ranch 1031 Qualified Equipment Exchanges

Farm-Ranch machinery and equipment can hold value that can result in capital gains taxation or most commonly recapture of depreciation when sold.

Before you sell your farm equipment, be sure to make the proper-arrangements with an experienced 1031 Qualified Intermediary (QI) or Accommodator.

You want the transaction to be treated as a qualified replacement trade or exchange (rather than a sale and repurchase) to be sure that you qualify for the maximum tax-savings.

Farm-Ranch 1031 Qualified Exchange Like-Kind Requirement: Your exchange has to be of like-kind like-class property. Non-real estate (personal property) used in a farming-ranch business is in one Product Class for farm-ranch machinery and equipment. 

Farmers-Ranchers have an advantage because nearly all of their equipment is grouped in one product-class, which allows flexibility in selecting like-kind replacement property.

This NAICS Product Class 333111 includes:

  • Presses, farm-type, manufacturing

  • Rakes, hay, manufacturing

  • Rotary hoes manufacturing

  • Rotary tillers, farm-type, manufacturing

  • Seeders, farm-type, manufacturing

  • Shears, powered, for use on animals, manufacturing

  • Sheep shears, powered, manufacturing

  • Shredders, farm-type, manufacturing

  • Sod harvesting machines manufacturing

  • Sprayers and dusters, farm-type, manufacturing

  • Spreaders, farm-type, manufacturing

  • Stalk choppers (i.e., shredders) manufacturing

  • Tobacco harvester machines manufacturing

  • Tomato harvesting machines manufacturing

  • Tractors and attachments, farm-type, manufacturing

  • Transplanters, farm-type, manufacturing

  • Tree shakers (e.g., citrus, nut, soft fruit) manufacturing

  • Wagons, farm-type, manufacturing

  • Weeding machines, farm-type, manufacturing

  • Windmills, farm-type, manufacturing 

45 Day Identification Requirement: Your replacement-farm equipment must be unambiguously designated or identified by you no later than 45 days after the date of the transfer of your relinquished-farm equipment.  This means that you must identify in writing your replacement-farm equipment by make, serial number, or other unambiguous designation to meet your QI-Accommodator preference to satisfy the treasury-regulations for Property Identification Rules including the 200% rule and 95% rule.

180 Day Exchange Requirement: You must actually receive the benefits and burdens of ownership to your new-farm equipment no later than 180 days after the date of the transfer of your old relinquished-farm equipment. This means that you have to actually receive your new replacement-farm equipment within the 180 day exchange-period.

Value Requirement: In order to completely defer gain tax, your replacement-farm equipment typically should be equal or greater in value than your old relinquished-farm equipment, and all of your equity (or proceeds) from the sale of your old relinquished-farm equipment should be reinvested into your new replacement-farm equipment.

The sale of farm equipment can be very costly for farmers if they do not structure their sale properly.  However, by using a 1031 personal property exchange, the sale can be treated as a 1031 qualified exchange that is not taxable.

§ 1031 Premium TIC Exchange - What is a Tenants-In-Common Investment?

IRS (Internal Revenue Service) IRC (Internal Revenue Code) § 1031 TIC and § 721 TIC real property exchanges and stock exchanges remain popular for tax-deferral.  Generally two to eight owners of single property allow owners to purchase larger more secure leased real estate.

Tenant in Common is a form of holding title to real property.  It allows the owner/owners to own an undivided fractional interest in the entire property.  In addition, it has become the preferred investment vehicle for real property investors who wish to defer capital gains via a § 1031 exchange and own real property without the management headaches.

The following factors have increased the popularity of Tenant-in-Common (TIC) investments:

  • Today's modern investor demands an investment portfolio that includes real estate diversification, appreciation and income without the hassle of active property management

  • The IRS complied to allow the public investor access to passive real estate investment in March, 2002 by clarifying TIC guidelines in Revenue Procedure 2002-22

  • The investment property marketplace is over 4 trillion dollars

  • In some states, 90% of all investment properties listed and sold over 3 million dollars were involved in a § 1031 Tax-Deferred Exchange

  • Most non-institutional investors (individuals) are not familiar with the strict provisions of the IRC §1031  

  • Owner age shift: 170,000 reach the age of 65 daily

In a 1031 FEC Premium Tenants-in-Common (TIC) investment you are a co-owner of an entire property. You title as an owner in an undivided interest in the property along with other investors. For example, as a TIC investor in a multi-tenant office, you share in the ownership of the entire property, not a specific office space. Likewise, if you invest in an apartment complex, you share in the ownership of the entire property, not a specific unit.

IRS § Section 1032 advantages exchange of stock for property with no gain or loss recognized to a corporation on the receipt of money or other property in exchange for stock (including treasury stock) of such corporation.  No gain or loss shall be recognized by a corporation with respect to any lapse or acquisition of an option, or with respect to a securities futures contract (as defined in section 1234B), to buy or sell its stock (including treasury stock).  For basis of property acquired by a corporation in certain exchanges for its stock, see your tax advisor, your Qualified Intermediary and 1031 FEC.

IRS § 721 ("721 Exchange") allows a Taxpayer to exchange rental or investment real estate ultimately for shares in a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). This is called a §721 exchange, also known as an upREIT or §1031 / 721 exchange.  Your 1031 FEC Consultant can advise in detail for your personal portfolio.

What is an UPREIT?

An Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust or UPREIT implements the use of both The Internal Revenue Code Section § 1031 and § 721.  In an UPREIT structure, the investor executes a 1031 exchange TIC into one property in which he/she will co-own for about 12-18 months.  At that time the investor will implement a § 721 exchange in which he/she will contribute a property to a partnership. At this point the investor receives interest in the partnership called operating partnership units (OP units). § 721 exchanges are often used by real estate investment trusts (REITs), which typically own all or substantially all of their assets through a subsidiary partnership with the REIT acting as general partner.

In a § 721 exchange or UPREIT structure, rather than taking possession of another property, the investors receive OP units that carry the economic benefits of the REIT’s entire portfolio, including any capital appreciation and distributions of operating income.  OP units can be converted later into shares of the associated REIT, and may only be taxable when such a conversion or liquidation takes place.

IRS § 1031 and §721 TIC exchange investments are structured to defer capital gains and recapture of depreciation taxes in accordance with 1031 exchange requirements.

Reduce risk by identifying 1031 FEC Premium TIC replacement property for your 1031 Exchange.  Identify multiple TIC Properties. Or, acquire interest in multiple TIC Properties.  One may directly acquire TIC or most properties without an exchange.

•45 days is a very short time to locate a qualified property. Using the 3-Property Rule, one can identify a 1031 FEC Premium TIC Property as one of your properties. If the other choices fail to close, the entire proceeds can easily be applied to the TIC property.

•If you do replace with one whole property and have proceeds left, you can put these remaining proceeds into the TIC property identified.

•Failure to close under 1031 time limit is the #1 reason clients reveal as to why many sellers pay capital gain taxes!

This is an open investment program. This means that the properties are already purchased and the investment program structure is in place, eliminating the risk of time and uncertainty in identifying a replacement property.  Simplicity and speed are achieved due to the efforts of an experienced real estate principal.  Negotiation process is complete.  Surveys, Rent rolls, etc. are already completed and available for your review.  Non-recourse Financing is in place.   After your review of all due diligence used to acquire the property, and upon your approval, you are ready to close! Closings can be complete in days, not months.

 The TIC structure has various features that make it attractive to the real estate buyer.

Access to Preferred High Grade Properties from Reputable National Real Estate Companies - The typical investment in whole commercial building begins at $1 million, but through premium TIC ownership, the average person is able to enjoy ownership in an institutional-type property with a minimum investment. Besides reliable income and growth potential, these high quality properties are able to attract tenants with greater financial strength and stability than possible for the individual landlord.

Combined Real Estate Experience - As an alternative to sole ownership of real estate, a 1031 buyer can take ownership in a large preferred commercial property along with other unrelated buyers, not as limited partners, but as individual owners. Each of the TIC owners brings their previous real estate knowledge to the group. Thus, each decision of the TIC ownership will be backed by many years of real estate experience.

Lessee Management with up to 25 Years Experience in Real Estate - Most of the day-to-day property operations are handled by a Master Lessee. The lessee managers control or has involvement in more than $350 million in real estate assets and have extensive experience in real estate. Thus, situations that arise in day-to-day operations will be addressed quickly and efficiently, and the Premium Property TIC owner will enjoy the freedom from property management.

Simple Mailbox Management - The Premium TIC property owner avoids the time and frustration of dealing with multiple tenants. You no longer deal with "toilets, tenants and trash," and simply receive your monthly lease payment from your mailbox. Enjoy other interests, travel and time with family.

Exact Dollar Matching - In a Premium TIC property, you may be permitted to purchase any amount above the minimum. For example, if you have $152,479 of equity from the sale of a previous property you can purchase $152,479 of equity in a TIC property.

Low Minimums - Revenue Procedure 2002-22 issued by the IRS allows up to 35 TIC owners in any one property. Most TIC owners number 15-25 per property. Minimum purchase requirements are structured to meet this limitation and can range as low as $50,000 equity.

Non-recourse Financing - The mortgages on most of the Premium TIC properties offered are non-recourse. The TIC debt structure generally allows for the debt financing to assumed. Assumption usually occurs without the need for qualification or loan assumption fees.

Diversification - Due to the low minimums in Premium TIC properties, the buyer can decrease risk by diversifying into different properties in various different marketplaces.

Speed and Simplicity - Speed and simplicity are achieved due to the efforts of 1031 FEC Consultants, Associates and experienced real estate professionals. The negotiation process is complete, and survey, rent rolls, etc. are already completed and available for your review. After your review of all the due diligence used to acquire your property, and upon your approval, you are ready to close. The closing can be completed in days, not months.

No Closing Costs - Some property investments include closing costs.  Be sure of all costs in a purchase or exchange.  Absent seller default or other items outside the control of 1031 FEC, closings are generally within the agreed upon time frame. 1031 FEC does not charge the TIC owners closing costs.  Non-FEC 1031 triple-net Master Lease transactions generally result in client closing expenses.  1031 Qualified Intermediary fees are paid by the buyer/exchanger.

Deeded Interest - The Premium TIC owners buy the property and receive a deeded interest. You can transfer this interest by gift, sale, inheritance, assignment, etc. Such transfer does not need to coincide with the transfer of all TIC interests in the property. If requested to do so by the TIC owner, 1031  FEC will assist in the marketing of any TIC interest.

No Special Allocations - All the Premium TIC owners receive lease payments, sale proceeds and the depreciation tax benefits in proportion to their percentage ownership in the property.

Impasse Resolution Procedure - On a decision requiring unanimous vote, such as a sale decision, a 75% vote by the TIC owners may be sufficient to initiate the impasse resolution procedure. This procedure allows the TIC owners with 75% or more of the property to make an offer to buyout the dissenting owner with 25% or less of the property. The dissenting TIC owners can either: (1) accept this offer, (2) buy out the 75% TIC owners at the same price per percentage ownership, or (3) change their dissenting vote to a consenting vote.
