3 Pro Tips For Dealing with Boot in a 1031 Exchange

Receiving any taxable boot during the 1031 exchange process can completely derail your like-kind exchange. In this article, we are going to walk through three pro tips for dealing with boot in a 1031 exchange of real estate.

Watch for Prorated Taxes, Rents & Security Deposits

Keep an eye out for prorated taxes, rents, or security deposits charged back at closing. These can created unintended boot. Have your tax advisor review your settlement statement before you close on your property.

Do The “Boot Test”

Use the “Boot Test” – if your replacement property value and debt assumed is greater than or equal to your relinquished property value and debt paid off, then you are probably safe.

Keep Your Hands Off the Proceeds

Never touch the proceeds yourself. The moment you (or your agent) have access to the funds, it is considered constructive receipt and your 1031 exchange will fail.

Like-Kind Exchange Company in Minnesota

Don’t let boot catch you off guard in a 1031 exchange. Even small details can turn your tax-deferred exchange into a taxable event. Partner with a qualified intermediary who keeps every dollar segregated and compliant.

A Lesson About Basis & Why You Need to Involve Your Tax Advisor in Your 1031 Exchange

Ouch! You thought you were going to defer your gains in a partial 1031 exchange. Knowing that you were buying down in value, you hoped that you would get some benefit from the 1031 exchange. But you’re disappointed now because you bought a replacement property that was too far down in value. The reason that you’re not getting any tax deferral is that you have a transferred basis in a 1031 exchange. Your old basis transfers to the new property and you only start enjoying tax deferral for every dollar of value you buy over and above your transferred basis.

The starting point for this analysis is to talk to your accountant or tax advisor and ask what your current adjusted basis is and how low you can buy while still enjoying some measure of tax deferral.

Another way to fix this problem is to identify and purchase multiple replacement properties and cobble together enough value to get the desired tax deferral.

You could also do a build-to-suit exchange in which you erect improvements upon the replacement property during your 180 day exchange period to increase the value of the replacement property and enhance the amount of tax deferral that you enjoy.

Video – Can I Sign a Purchase Agreement in a 1031 Exchange?

A common question that many people ask when they’re doing a 1031 exchange is:

“Can I sign a purchase agreement for the purchase of the replacement property even before closing on the sale of the relinquished property?”

The answer is yes, but it’s a very common misconception. In fact, not only can you sign a purchase agreement for your replacement property, you can also do a reverse exchange and have your intermediary acquire the replacement property as your surrogate.
