Welcome to Castling Tax, your trusted partner for all things related to 1031 exchanges. As a qualified 1031 intermediary, we're here to help you navigate the complexities of California's 1031 exchange rules.
What is a 1031 Exchange?
A 1031 exchange, also known as a like-kind exchange, is a powerful tax-deferment strategy used by savvy real estate investors. It allows you to defer paying capital gains taxes on an investment property when it is sold, as long as another "like-kind property" is purchased with the profit gained by the sale of the first property.
California's 1031 Exchange Rules
While 1031 exchanges are governed by federal law, California has its own set of rules that investors need to be aware of. Here's what you need to know:
Same Taxpayer Rule: The same taxpayer who sells the relinquished property must buy the replacement property.
45-Day Identification Period: You have 45 days from the date of selling your property to identify potential replacement properties.
180-Day Purchase Period: You have 180 days from the date of selling your property to close on the purchase of one or more replacement properties.
