To fully defer all taxes in a 1031 Exchange it is necessary to carry all equity from the relinquished property forward into a new replacement property. Prepare the 1031 exchange agreement, including assignments, notices, and all forms necessary to complete the exchange.Before closing of the sale of the Relinquished Property, the Taxpayer must enter into an exchange agreement with an Accommodator and the Buyer. After completing a 1031 exchange, you must report the transaction to the IRS using Form 8824 to maintain the transaction's taxdeferred status.
