A 1031 exchange is a tax strategy that allows you to defer paying capital gains taxes when you sell an investment property, as long as you reinvest the proceeds into a new, like-kind property. This means you can sell one property and buy another similar one without immediately paying taxes on any gains from the sale.
These like-kind exchanges are covered under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (hence the name "1031 Exchanges") and apply to federal capital gains taxes. However, each state has their own tax code, and may have different rules for real estate tax withholdings, the ability to complete a tax-deferred sale, or the rules around like-kind exchanges. Below we'll dive deep into these state-level specifics.
