Section 1031(f) provides that if a Taxpayer exchanges with a related party then the party who acquired the property in the exchange must hold it for 2 years or the exchange will be disallowed.
1031 Exchanges in Massachusetts enable investors to divest from investment property, reinvesting proceeds into new investment properties, and deferring capital gain and other taxes, provided adherence to all rules and regulations.
The 2-Year Holding Period Rule is part of the IRS procedures regulating 1031 exchanges. It stipulates that you must hold your Replacement Property (new property) for a minimum of two years after acquiring it.
There are certain rare exceptions to the two-year rule: if the disposition of the replacement property occurs “after the earlier of the death of the taxpayer or the death of the related person,” it may be acceptable to dispose of the replacement property within two years.
The 95% rule says that a taxpayer can identify more than three properties with a total value that is more than 200% of the value of the relinquished property, but only if the taxpayer acquires at least 95% of the value of the properties that he identifies.
The time limits associated with a 1031 exchange are critical, with a 45-day identification period and a total exchange period of 180 days. Compliance with these timelines is essential for a successful exchange and the deferral of capital gains taxes.
Detailed record-keeping and allowing your replacement property to have its season as an investment asset is imperative. The exchange can be disallowed if the IRS suspects that you completed the 1031 exchange, intending to move in immediately. It's best to wait at least two years.
A binding contract requires both an offer and acceptance of that offer. A party makes an offer by expressing a willingness or desire to enter into an agreement with the intent that, if the other party accepts the terms of the offer, then there is a binding contract.
First, sell your investment property and acquire a future primary residence, second home or personal vacation property as the Replacement Property in a 1031 Exchange. Second, rent the property for at least 14 days during each of the first two 12 month periods after the exchange.
