1031 TAX-DEFERRED EXCHANGES
When you sell an investment property you may face the prospect of paying significant capital gains tax. The 1031 tax-deferred exchange is widely known and utilized by investors to defer capital gains tax when selling and buying investment properties. A 1031 exchange allows you to sell an investment property and acquire a new property while deferring the capital gains tax. Understanding the tax savings strategies available through a 1031 exchange, along with proper planning and tax advice, can help you save significant tax dollars.
One of the basic requirements to qualify for maximum tax deferral under I.R.C. Section 1031 is to use a Qualified Intermediary to satisfy the statutory safe harbor. GT EXCHANGE SERVICES, LLC (“GTX”) serves as a Qualified Intermediary.
