What Is An Exchange?• Method to sell Investment and/or Trade or Business Property

and replace it with New Property that doesn’t trigger any tax.• Its essential elements are: The Client must:

– Give a Deed (or a Bill of Sale);– Get a Deed (or a Bill of Sale); and– Don’t handle Cash

The Five Critical Elements

1. Intent

2. Form and Documentation

3. Control of Funds

4. Like-Kind Properties

5. Time Limits

The Regulation - Section 1.1031(k)-1

“A deferred exchange is defined as an exchange in which, pursuant to an agreement, the taxpayer transfers property held for productive use in a trade or business or for investment (the ‘relinquished property’) and subsequently receives property to be held either for productive use in a trade or business or for investment (the ‘replacement property’).”

QI

Section 1031(a)(1)

“No gain or loss shall be recognized on the

exchange of property held for productive use in trade or business or for investment if such property is exchanged solely for property of like kind which is held either for productive use in a trade or business or for investment.”

Section 1031 Works ONLY with Investment/Trade or Business Property

YOU MUST PROVE INTENT!

Section 1031 Works ONLY with Investment/Trade or Business Property

YOU MUST PROVE INTENT!

Exceptions to Section 1031 (Sec.1031(a)-(2))

• A. Stock in trade or other property held primarily for sale

• B. Stocks, bonds or notes• C. Other securities or evidences of indebtedness

or interest• D. Interests in a partnership• E. Certificates of trust or beneficial interest• F. Choses in action (litigation rights)

What is Investment Purpose?

• Investment is the passive holding of property for more than a temporary period with the expectation of appreciation

• Real estate (even if unproductive) held by a non dealer for future use or increment in value is held for investment and not primarily for sale (Reg. 1.1031(a)-1(b))

• Thus property held for sale in the immediate future is not held for investment

What are the benefits of an Exchange?• Full capital gains tax deferral (Exchange goes Even or Up)

• Relocation of investment

• Change in investment type

• Diversification of investment

• Planning of investment

• Solve problem of joint ownership

• Increase cash flow

Three Essential Elements:

• The properties must be exchanged (not sold)

• Both the “Relinquished Property” and the “Replacement Property” must be held by the same taxpayer for investment or productive use (“Identity of Taxpayer Rule”)

• The properties must be “Like-Kind” with one another– Real property for real property– Personal property for personal property– Matching in value or the new property more expensive– “Boot” results when the old property is more expensive

Replacement Property Rules @ Reg 1.1031(k)-1-(c)(4)

• The Three Property Rule The Exchangor may identify up to three (3) properties, without regard to value; or

• The 200% Rule The Exchangor may identify more than three properties, provided their combined fair market values does not exceed 200% of the value of the Relinquished Property; or

• The 95% Rule The Exchangor may identify any number of properties, provided the Exchangor acquires 95% of those properties (by value).

• Properties received before the 45th day do not have to be identified, but must appear on one of the ID’s after Day 45.

Like-Kind Requirement:

• The term “like-kind” refers to the nature or character of the property and not to its grade or quality (Reg 1.1031(a)-1(2)(b))

• Real property cannot be exchanged for personal property (Reg 1.1031(a)-1(2)(b))

• Qualifying personal property can be exchanged for property of a similar character (NAICS (formerly SIC) Codes must match; the Code must fall within Sector 31, 32 or 33 of NAICS; last digit cannot be a 9.) (Regs 1.1031(a)-2, et seq.)

Examples of Like-kind

• Improved real property for Unimproved real property (Reg 1.1031(a)-1(2)(b))

• Lease for >30 years (Reg 1.1031(a)-1(2)(c))

• Partial interest for a whole interest

• One property for more than one property and vice versa

• Same General Asset Class or Product Code• North American Industry Classification System• Sector 31-33: Manufacturing

– Examples: Construction Equipment, Well Drilling Equipment, Logging Equipment, Commercial Vessels, Commercial Laundry Equipment

– See www.census.gov/naics

Timing is everything!• The Exchange Period begins on the transfer of the

Relinquished Property – This is Day #0

• Exchangor must identify qualified Replacement Property within 45 days of closing (the “Identification Period”)

• Exchangor must acquire within 180 days, or due date of the tax return (counting extensions) for the tax year of the sale (the “Exchange Period”) (Reg 1.1031(k)-1(b), et seq.)

• There are no extensions unless a federal disaster is declared in the vicinity of the taxpayer or the property.

Can Anyone Handle An Exchange?• No! It must be a “Qualified Intermediary”(QI) as defined by

regulation: see Regs 1.1031(k)-1(k), et seq.

• Cannot Be the Exchangor or a Relative (Sec. 267(b) or Sec. 707(b)(1))

• Cannot be an Agent of the Taxpayer§ One who has acted as employee, attorney, accountant, investment

banker, broker or real estate agent within the past 2 years

§ The QI Handles All Aspects of the Exchange and Should be Involved EARLY in the Process

What does the QI do? Regs 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4), et seq.• Creates Exchange Agreement; signed by Taxpayer.

• Has Legal Standing as the substitute Seller of Relinquished Property and substitute Buyer of Replacement Property (Assignee Seller/Buyer).

• Notice of the Assignment required to be given to Buyer and Seller, with Closing Instructions to both Settlement Agents.

• Banking, Safeguarding & Delivery of Exchange Funds

• Assurance of Critical Deadlines Including the 45 & 180 Day Deadlines

• Final accounting for tax purposes

Who Qualifies for an Exchange?

Owners of investment property and business property may qualify for a Section 1031 deferral. Individuals, C Corporations, S corporations, partnerships (general or limited), limited liability corporations, trusts and any other taxpaying entity may set up an exchange of business or investment properties for business or investment properties under Section 1031.

Ref - www.irs.gov

Does Your Situation Qualify?

The Five Most Common Section 1031 Misconceptions

1 All 1031 Exchanges must involve swapping or trading with other property owners......


2 It’s required that all types of 1031 exchanges must close simultaneously......


3 "Like-kind" means purchasing the same type of property which was sold.......


4 1031 Exchanges must be limited to 1 exchange and 1 replacement property.......


5 A Section 1031 is NOT a path to cash.

What about the States?

• All states but one (PA) allow a Section 1031 within or outside the state; PA taxes even in-state 1031’s

• States follow the Federal rules closely.• Some states w/ income taxes (e.g. CA, ME, NJ, NY,

RI, VT) require a Waiver of (state tax) Withholding• Other states w/ income taxes (MA) don’t bother• Land Gains Tax in VT: Old & New properties must

be in-state; New Property takes Old Holding Period • Some states (ME, VT) have a formal Waiver; others

CA, HI, NJ, NY, RI, SC) permit a Seller Affidavit.

Multi-asset Exchanges

“Boot”

FMVOld basis + “New money”

Eg. A buildingfor vacant land

What is “Boot?• If the Price + costs of the New Property is less than the

Price – costs of the Old, Boot results.

• Boot can be avoided by exchanging even or up

• Boot is property of an Unlike Kind; Cash Boot is net cash; Mortgage Boot is less net debt.

Boot Triggers TAX…

…The ExchangeCould Still Work!

What is “New Money” (Basis Additions):

• The Taxpayer picks up new basis for all “New Money” that is added to the transaction.

• “New money” = Net new cash + Net increase in debt

• “Strike Price” = Sales price – costs

• Taxpayer gets increased basis if the New property + acquisition costs = or exceeds the Strike Price

Exchanges that cross 2 tax years:

• Reported for the year of the sale of the Old Property

• July 5 + 180 days (or Nov. 17 + 45 days) = Jan. 1st

• Election under Reg. 1.1031(k)-1(j) (Coordination of Sec. 1031 & 453):

• Provided the Client had a bona-fide intention to exchange at the start of the Exchange Period

Can a Failed Exchange be fixed?

• IRS Regulations allow a sale to be rescinded within the same tax year if the parties are restored to their original positions (Rev Rule 80-58)

– Un-close with the Buyer.

– Re-close with the Buyer properly, using a Q.I.

GEF EditsSection 1031 Exchanges for Partnerships• Exchange must be at the entity level; partnership interests

(or those of any entity) are not exchangeable per 1031(a)-2• Nor does the “Drop & Swap” technique work either. If a

partnership asset is distributed to a partner, that person must establish a separate “holding period” in the asset before the exchange (1 year minimum; 2 years better).

• IRS is now asking on Form 1065: “At any time during the tax year, did the partnership distribute to any partner a tenancy-in-common or other undivided interest in partnership property?” (Question #14)

GEF Edits

Partnerships (cont’d)4. Nor does the “Swap & Drop” technique work either,

where the entire partnership does the exchange and then distributes some or all of the property it receives to departing partners.

5. On Form 1065, IRS now asks the following question: “Check this box if, during the current or prior tax year, the partnership distributed any property received in a like-kind exchange or contributed such property to another entity (including a disregarded entity)” Question #13

GEF EditsPartnerships: So what to do?6. Identify the partners who want to depart; preserve the

partnership at all costs; must have at least 2 members.7. Close on the asset, but reserve out enough “boot” to

allocate to the partners who want to leave; the rest of the sale is handled by the QI in the usual way.

8. The departing partners get the cash and the allocated debt relief, and pay tax on these funds per their basis in the partnership.

9. The remaining partners go forward and take in the like-kind Replacement Property.

10. This preserves the partnership EIN #, and its holding period.

GEF Edits

• So what to do? (cont’d)11. This leaves the answers to Questions #13 and

#14 on Form 1065 “No.” The partnership would issue all of the partners K-1 returns, however, in addition to the figures for the normal partnership operations for the prior year, those that took cash or distributed debt relief would have that fact and the correct amounts stated on their K-1.

The After-Tax Analysis (a sale in Year 15)• Owner #1 (in Year 15)

– Has Property worth $448,056; all taxes have been paid

• Owner #2 (in Year 15)– Has property worth $659,100, with $136,810 tax due

• Net Result (after tax):– Owner #2 has $74,234 more wealth than Owner #1, and

has received $92,779 more income than Owner #1.

– But why would Owner #2 ever pay the tax when s/he can exchange over & over, using THE POWER OF SECTION 1031?

The Most Common Exchange Types

• Delayed Exchange (Regs 1.1031(k)-1, et seq.)– The client sells his property, identifies Replacement Property options

within 45 days, then purchases the property(ies) within 180 days.

• Reverse Exchange (Rev. Proc 2000-16 & 2004-51)– The client purchases (with a Single Purpose Entity) the Replacement

Property before his current property is sold. The client then has 180 days to close on his Relinquished Property.

• Build-to-Suit (Reg 1.1031(k)-1(e), et seq.)– The client wishes to purchase and improve Replacement Property(ies)

with the proceeds from the sale of his Relinquished Property. This is accomplished with a Single Purpose Entity, a/k/a an Exchange Accommodation Titleholder (“EAT”).

Reverse Exchanges – Choice of Entity

• The EAT Can Be an Individual or an Entity– Using an Individual is Very Dangerous (Liability/Bankruptcy/Death)

• For Protection the Entity Should be an LLC or C-Corp

LLC C-Corp

Can Convey LLC Membership

Could Save Transfer Taxes (Not NH)

Fiscal Tax Year No Tax Filing in

Reverse Exchanges – Transfer Taxes

• Most States (Including NH) Charge 2 Transfer Taxes:• Property Conveyed to the EAT• Property Conveyed out of the EAT

• ME and VT Offer a Waiver of The Second Tax• Waiver MUST be Applied For BEFORE the Second Closing• NH Collects Taxes on ALL Deeds With Few Exceptions

1. What’cha Got?

2. Howd’ya Get It?

3. What else ‘ya Got?

4. What’cha Want?

1. What’cha Got?– How has the property been used in the

client’s hands?

– Has there been personal use of the property? (Rev Proc 2008-16)

– Does the property include personal property or other intangibles?

– What is the Purchase Price Allocation?

2. Howd’ya Get It?– As the result of a previous Exchange?

– Is the property from an estate or family, or was it gifted?

– How long has the property been owned?

– What is the Adjusted Cost Basis?

3. What else ‘ya Got?– Is there other property being sold?– Are there other property rights or

easements? – Any excess land associated with their

primary residence?– Does the transaction need to be bigger,

smaller or done in stages?– “Find a way to make it bigger; find a way

to make it smaller” Warren G. Harding

4. What’cha Want?– What is the short term/long term strategy

for the property?– Ideally the value should be even or up.– An important element of building wealth is

the use of untaxed funds.– Diversify in type, location, quantity &

quality of the Replacement Property.– In an Exchange, the adjusted cost basis

shifts first, followed by the cash or debt.

2. Proceeds transferred to QI (Edmund & Wheeler, Inc.)

3. Client and advisor identify potential Replacement Properties through a myriad of sources within their 45-day Identification Period.

4. Client is granted a reservation.

5. Client and advisor fill out necessary paperwork to close.

6. Client is on title and receives a deed to the Replacement Property.7. Client assumes a % interest of non-recourse financing (1)

8. Client receives a % interest of the income generated from the property.

9. At the sale, the client receives a % share of any and all profits.

Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (UP-REIT)

Any Real Property

Exchange!

What Is An UPREIT?

• Similar to a Mutual Fund For Real Estate Investors.

• Allows Exchanging Real Property Into Operating Partnership (OP) Shares of Existing REITs

• REITs can convert existing properties into TICs allowing 35 ownership positions; then, under Section 721:• TICs are then converted back to REIT shares and

investors then hold shares in the REIT’s entire portfolio.• Portfolio is professionally managed with 95% of the net

income to investors.

Section 721 Exchange Overview

• Instead of Selling and Exchanging, The Investor Contributes Property to a Partnership

• Receives Operating Partnership (OP) units.

UPREIT Benefits• Transaction completed on a tax-deferred basis. If

shares go to an estate the ultimate recipients will receive a stepped-up tax basis (An interest-free loan followed by tax forgiveness).

• Transaction can be structured by enabling property owner to convert an interest in a specific property into a larger, more balanced portfolio held by the UPREIT.

• Allows an interest in illiquid individual properties to become more easily saleable; convert real estate to shares of stock.

• Convert a high-valued property into tiny, marketable pieces.

Structured Sales (Section 453)STRUCTURED SALES ALLOW THE INVESTOR TO ARRANGE FOR A FUTURE PAYCHECK

Any Real Property

Exchange!

The Structured SaleThe Structured Sale is a method for selling appreciated assets such as real estate and businesses that allows Sellers to:

•Defer capital gains taxes to future years•Collect a stream of guaranteed payments over a set number of years•Without having to trust the Buyer or to get an unwanted Balloon payment

In Addition:

•Makes the transaction safer for the Seller; guarantor is Allstate, not the Buyer•Can be combined with a Section 1031 Exchange or be used alone•Absolutely no risk of getting the old property back

This method was developed in 2005 and is becoming a sought-after method for tax deferral when selling a business or real estate.

The Structured Sale & Section 1031

• Identified as an Alternative Strategy In Exchange Agreement

• Gives Buyer Full Title

• Can Be Used When Replacement Properties Cannot Be Identified and/or Purchased in the 45/180 Day Time Restraints

• Can Be Used For Taxable “Boot”

The Structured Sale & Selling a Business

• There is Inherent Risk Associated With a TypicalInstallment Sale

• The Structured Sale Provides a Safe Alternative

• Can Be Used in an Exchange for non “like-kind” Items like goodwill and FF&E; or

• Can be used for the entire transaction amount if the client wants to exit the real estate class
