When is a failed exchange taxable...?
Submitted by Bridget Blevins on Tue, 12/08/2009 - 01:00
A common question we get this time of year involves what happens when a 1031 exchange falls in two tax years.
For example, you sell your old property in 2009, but your exchange fails and you get your money back in 2010 - when is your exchange taxable: 2009 or 2010?
The answer is, whichever year you WANT it to be.
The article in our archive titled, What to do when a 1031 exchange overlaps years explains how it works. Please feel free to print it, download it, forward it to your client, attorney, CPA or tax-preparer if this might help you or your client's tax situation.
And as always, please feel free to call us if you have any questions about this particular situation.
