  • The Compounding Benefits of a 1031 Exchange

    The Compounding Benefits of a 1031 Exchange

    While financial benefits of a 1031 Exchange are experienced within the 180-day exchange period, there are additional, compounding benefits that are not readily visible at the completion of your exchange.
    Let’s take a look at the long-term benefits of utilizing a 1031 Exchange for your qualifying real estate transaction.
    Suzy Investor owns a retail center she has been renting out over the past 20 years. She has taken annual depreciation deductions of $10,256 since 1990, reducing her tax basis to $244,880. She decides to sell the retail center at market value of $1,250,000, and rid herself of management responsibility by reinvesting into a passive investment opportunity, such as a DST.
    Without leveraging a 1031 Exchange, Suzy will incur the following tax liability, leaving her only $942,400 to reinvest.
     
    federal capital gains tax (20%): $153,000
    depreciation recapture tax (25%): $51,280
    state capital gains (5% varies by state): $38,250
    net investment income tax (3.8%): $29,070
    Total Tax Liability: $271,600
    Reinvestment Total Without a 1031 exchange: $942,400 ($1,250,000 – $271,600)
    However, should Suzy engage a Qualified Intermediary prior to the sale of her retail center and structure her transaction as a 1031 Exchange, she will defer all levels of tax above and have the total $1.25 Million to reinvest.
    The immediate benefit is obvious; Suzy has an additional $271,600 to reinvest. The less obvious benefit is how that additional amount compounds over the proceeding years. With Suzy utilizing a 1031 Exchange and reinvesting the full $1.25 million, at a 7% compounded rate of return over the next 10 years she will have earned nearly double the investment for a total of $2.45 Million.
    Without a 1031 Exchange, the reinvestment amount of just $942,400 after 10 years at the same compounding rate of return, only earns $1.85 Million, roughly only $500,000 more than her original reinvestment amount with the use of a 1031 Exchange. That equates to $600,000 less over 10 years should a 1031 Exchange not be utilized.
    Utilizing a 1031 Exchange not only provides investors with immediate benefits, it continues to produce returns on investment in the future.

    IRS Announces Tax Relief for Georgia Taxpayers Impacted by Idalia

    Due to Idalia, the IRS has issued Tax Relief for 28 counties within Georgia.

    The Disaster Date is August 30th (GA). The General postponement date is February 15, 2024.
     
    The Disaster Date is listed above. Note that some disasters occur on a single date; others, such as flooding, occur over a period of days and the Disaster Date above is preceded by beginning or began.
    Currently, 28 counties within Georgia including: Appling, Atkinson, Bacon, Berrien, Brantley, Brooks, Bulloch, Camden, Candler, Charlton, Clinch, Coffee, Colquitt, Cook, Echols, Emanuel, Glynn, Jeff Davis, Jenkins, Lanier, Lowndes, Pierce, Screven, Tattnall, Thomas, Tift, Ware and Wayne counties qualify. Individuals and households that reside or have a business in these counties qualify for tax relief, but any area added later to the disaster area will also qualify. 
    An “Affected Taxpayer” includes individuals who live, and businesses whose principal place of business is located in, the Covered Disaster Area. Affected Taxpayers are entitled to relief regardless of where the relinquished property or replacement property is located. Affected Taxpayers may choose either the General Postponement relief under Section 6 OR the Alternative relief under Section 17 of Rev. Proc. 2018-58. Taxpayers who do not meet the definition of Affected Taxpayers do not qualify for Section 6 General Postponement relief.
    Option One: General Postponement under Section 6 of Rev. Proc. 2018-58 (Affected Taxpayers only). Any 45-day deadline or 180-day deadline (for either a forward or reverse exchange) that falls on or after the Disaster Date above is postponed to the General Postponement Date. The General Postponement applies regardless of the date the Relinquished Property was transferred (or the parked property acquired by the EAT) and is available to Affected Taxpayers regardless of whether their exchange began before or after the Disaster Date.
    Option Two: Section 17 Alternative (Available to (1) Affected Taxpayers and (2) other taxpayers who have difficulty meeting the exchange deadlines because of the disaster. See Rev. Proc. 2018-58, Section 17 for conditions constituting “difficulty”). Option Two is only available if the relinquished property was transferred (or the parked property was acquired by the EAT) on or before the Disaster Date. Any 45-day or 180-day deadline that falls on or after the Disaster Date is extended to THE LONGER OF: (1) 120 days from such deadline; OR (2) the General Postponement Date. Note the date may not be extended beyond one year or the due date (including extensions) of the tax return for the year of the disposition of the relinquished property (typically, if an extension was filed, 9/15 for corporations and partnerships and 10/15 for other taxpayers).
