Many taxpayers use section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code to defer their capital gains tax burden when selling investment or business real estate. But is there a limit to the number of 1031 exchanges you can do? In this article, we are going to talk about how many 1031 exchanges you can do.
1031 Exchange Limits
There is no limit to the number of 1031 exchanges you can do, so long as you continue following the rules and requirements for 1031 exchange treatment. In fact, many taxpayers continue deferring capital gains taxes in 1031 exchange transactions until they die and bequeath their property to their heirs. The heirs would then inherit the property with a step up in basis.
This is a long-term investment strategy that allows you to compound and build your wealth over your lifetime by continuing to exchange into bigger and better property while deferring capital gains taxes.
