Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code is available to all US taxpayers and can be a crucial tool to help individual businesses and the national economy during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Here are a few ways in which 1031 exchanges are economically beneficial in the midst of a pandemic.

  • Section 1031 incentivizes businesses to diversify, consolidate, move into more productive property, or relocate to a different location.

  • 1031 exchanges allow small business owners to move into more efficient facilities that meet their needs, rather than being stuck with an inefficient property.

  • Like-kind exchanges are often used in conservation easements to reduce erosion, improve water quality, and sustain wildlife and wetlands.

  • Farmers utilize 1031 exchanges to improve their operations, consolidate, or relocate while keeping their cash flow intact.

  • 1031 exchanges improve communities by encouraging investment for the best use of real estate, and in the process, increase state and local tax bases.

  • Like-kind exchanges can aid in the repurposing of office and retail spaces, allowing efficient flow of capital to where it’s most needed.

  • 1031 exchanges create jobs and taxable revenue for adjacent industries such as realtors, title insurers, escrow agents, lenders, surveyors, contractors, inspectors, attorneys, and more.
