Real estate is a common investment vehicle for many investors. When selling any investment property, you want to determine the most tax-advantageous way to proceed. Avoiding or reducing capital gains taxes is a big concern for many investors. In this article, we are going to offer some tips for reducing your capital gains tax burden on your investment property.
1031 Exchange
Instead of selling your investment property outright and being saddled with the associated capital gains taxes, consider a 1031 exchange. In a like-kind exchange, you can defer all of your capital gains taxes on the sale of your investment property as long as you meet certain benchmarks and follow certain rules. For example, all of your net proceeds need to be rolled into a new replacement property. This benefits the economy, and also your bottom line as it allows you to avoid a tax bill and keep your money working for you over time.
Partial Tax Deferral
If you can’t (for one reason or another) defer all of your capital gains when selling your real property, there is still hope for a partial tax deferral.
