Frequently Asked Questions About 1031 Exchange Tax Advisors

When should I involve a CPA in my 1031 exchange?▾

Ideally, consult a CPA before you sell your property. A CPA can calculate your potential tax liability, advise whether a 1031 exchange makes financial sense for your situation, help structure the exchange to maximize deferral, and plan for depreciation recapture. Early planning prevents costly mistakes.

What is depreciation recapture and how does it affect my 1031 exchange?▾

Depreciation recapture is the tax on accumulated depreciation deductions when you sell a property. It is taxed at 25% (Section 1250 gain). A 1031 exchange defers this tax along with capital gains, but the depreciation carries over to the replacement property. Your CPA should track this for accurate basis calculations.

What tax forms are required for a 1031 exchange?▾

You must file IRS Form 8824 (Like-Kind Exchanges) with your tax return for the year the exchange occurs. This form reports the details of both properties, the exchange timeline, and the deferred gain calculation. A CPA experienced in 1031 exchanges ensures this form is completed accurately.

Can a CPA help me decide between a full and partial 1031 exchange?▾

Yes. A CPA analyzes whether deferring 100% of the gain (full exchange) or receiving some cash or "boot" (partial exchange) makes more financial sense based on your tax bracket, investment goals, and available replacement properties. They calculate the exact tax impact of each scenario.
