3 Tips For Offsetting Capital Gains

When you profit from the sale of an investment, you will incur a capital gains tax liability. It’s great that you were able to make money on your investment, but capital gains can be taxed at elevated rates, so many smart investors look for ways to offset paying capital gains taxes on investment proceeds. In today’s blog, we take a closer look at a few ways to offset capital gains.

Smart Moves To Offset Capital Gains

At CPEC1031, we’re always looking for ways to help you keep more of your hard earned money. Here are five smart financial moves you may be able to make in order to reduce your capital gains tax liability.

• Consider A 1031 Exchange - We’ll start with a tip we have a wealth of experience with. A 1031 exchange allows you to move all of the funds from the sale of one property into the purchase of another like-kind property without having to pay taxes on the proceeds of the sale. If you are looking to move on from one investment opportunity and into another, a 1031 exchange is a very financially-wise move.

• Offset With Losses - Some assets do really well, while you may lose money on others. You can sell other assets at a loss to offset some or all of the capital gains you realized on other assets. This is oftentimes referred to as tax loss harvesting.

• Minimize Taxable Income - If you expect to have capital gains this year, you should consider doing what you can to reduce your taxable income. Increasing your contributions to your IRA or 401(k) or reducing your taxable income through other investments like municipal bonds can help to minimize your short-term capital gains rate.

You worked hard for your money, and by taking a few smart steps, you can hang on to more of it by lowering your capital gains tax liability. For more information on navigating capital gains taxes or 1031 exchanges, please give the team at CPEC 1031 a call today at (612) 643-1031.

Can I Relinquish Multiple Properties In A 1031 Exchange?

If you are considering a 1031 exchange, you may have a number of questions about the best way to navigate the transaction. One common question that we receive when working with clients who are relatively new to a 1031 exchange is whether or not they can sell multiple properties during an exchange. We explain whether that is allowed, and how to ensure you conduct the exchange properly when relinquishing multiple properties.

Relinquishing Multiple Properties During A 1031 Exchange

While a typical 1031 exchange involves the exchange of a like-kind property for another, oftentimes a client will want to move on from multiple properties at the same time. As long as this exchange follows all of the rules and requirements, it is perfectly acceptable to relinquish multiple properties. You can also acquire multiple replacement properties and relinquish a singular property.

When exchanging multiple properties, there are some considerations that you’ll want to be aware of in order to ensure full tax deferral. You will want to ensure that the replacement property is worth as much or more than the combined value of relinquished properties #1 and #2. You’ll also need to apply all of the cash generated by the relinquishment of the two properties towards the acquisition of the replacement property. And finally, any debt that is resolved upon the transfer of relinquished properties #1 and #2 is replaced with new debt or new cash in the acquisition of the replacement property.

This may sound a bit complex, and to the inexperienced asset manager it certainly can be. Even those with years of experience would benefit from having the entire process streamlined by working with a Qualified Intermediary to ensure any asset exchange is handled correctly and within the Internal Revenue Code. An innocent mistake can prove costly, so put those fears to bed by working with a team that has facilitated countless 1031 exchanges over the past two decades. For help with your 1031 exchange, turn to the team at CPEC 1031. Give our team a call today at (612) 643-1031.

Can I Buy My Next Property Before Selling Other Property In A 1031 Exchange?

If you are looking to 1031 exchange from one piece of investment real estate and invest in another, you may find it easier to begin the acquisition process before you sell off your relinquished property. This is known as a reverse exchange, and while it is quite common, you need to be aware of how to execute this type of 1031 exchange so that you don’t end up making a costly mistake.

At CPEC1031, we’ve handled countless reverse exchanges and know how to simplify the process so that everything goes smoothly. Below, we explore some of the intricacies of a reverse exchange and discuss some potential pitfalls that you’ll want to avoid.

Understanding Reverse Exchanges

In a nutshell, a reverse exchange occurs when a taxpayer acquires their replacement property before selling their relinquished property.

Even though it’s done in reverse, the exchange must still abide by the 45-day Identification Period and 180-day Exchange Period deadlines of the Internal Revenue Code. Those rules state that, after starting your exchange, you have 45 days to identify in writing all of your replacement properties, and 180 days total to complete the exchange.

4 Potential Pitfalls To A Successful 1031 Exchange

1031 exchanges can be complex, and one small oversight or misstep along the way can prove extremely costly, so it’s important that you recognize some of the common pitfalls and take steps to avoid them. However, many taxpayers aren’t fully aware of some of the most common roadblocks to a proper 1031 exchange, so it’s tough to avoid a problem that you don’t see coming. In today’s blog, we spotlight four potential roadblocks to a successful 1031 exchange so that you can keep your exchange on track.

Common Roadblocks To A Successful 1031 Exchange

Here are some of the more common issues that inexperienced taxpayers can run into during their 1031 exchange.

1. Exchanging Disqualified Properties - Not every property qualifies for a 1031 exchange. The properties must be like-kind and meet other eligibility requirements, like being property that is used for business, trade or investment purposes.

2. Exchanging Lower Value Properties - It is in your best interest to exchange equal or higher value properties and to replace any debt from the Relinquished Property with either new debt or cash in order to avoid a taxable event during the 1031 exchange.

3. Not Hiring A Qualified Intermediary - Not only is the process much easier if you move forward with a qualified intermediary, but it can also help you avoid an issue. A qualified intermediary keeps everything on track and ensures everything is conducted properly.

4. Choosing The Wrong Qualified Intermediary - It’s not enough to hire any qualified intermediary to handle your exchange. You need to work with a team with extensive experience and understanding of the IRC. The team at CPEC1031 has been facilitating 1031 exchanges all across the country for more than two decades, so there is hardly a situation that arises that we don’t have familiarity with. For a smooth and seamless exchange, it pays to read reviews and find a company that has helped a variety of clients manage their exchanges in the past.

For help avoiding all of these potential roadblocks, or if you are wondering if you qualify for a 1031 exchange, please reach out to the team at CPEC1031 today at (612) 643-1031.
