Exchanges of mixed-use properties

Article Abstract:

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has set certain guidelines for the taxpayers. The new procedure is unique in how it applies the exclusion rules before deferral rules. In an appreciating real estate market, taxpayers can minimize recognition of gain by taking advantage of both the exclusion and deferral provisions under Sections 121 and 1031 respectively. Section 1031 is only necessary if the gain on the sale would exceed the maximum exclusion under Section 121 or if depreciation deductions have been taken on the property.
