Key Points of a 1031 Exchange

1. 15/25/6 - Is the focus of the tax benefits from a 1031 Exchange.   Use these deferred IRS funds and apply them to your new investment property:  
   15% Deferred tax on capital gains
   25%  Deferred tax  on depreciation
   6%      Deferred tax at the state level (Georgia)
   
   e.g.  On an originally purchased home at $75k now worth $150k where investor has  applied  depreciation over past tax years, the investor may have over $30,000 in deferred taxes that, instead of going immediately to the IRS, can be used to purchase other property(s).


2. Owned for investment - Both properties (your sale and your exchange purchase) must be owned for investment (like kind) or all taxes  may be  due.


3. 45/180 - Exchange  items must fall within the IRS defined time periods or all taxes are due.
