What is a like-kind exchange?
A 1031 or like-kind exchange is a business transaction in which one asset — typically real estate — is traded for another of relatively equivalent value. 1031s are important as, unlike conventional sales or exchanges, they are not subject to capital gains taxes. As a result, for certain businesses, 1031 exchanges offer an opportunity to grow or modify their assets without being subject to the same tax burden they otherwise would be.
However, 1031 exchanges must be done in full accordance with the law to avoid expensive penalties. As this area is complex and continually evolving, 1031 training is an important investment that can help anyone considering such a transaction avoid risk.
