Many taxpayers have questions about 1031 exchanges involving ownership and homesteading. As a way of approaching this topic, let’s consider a hypothetical example. Imagine you did a 1031 exchange from an office into a residential condominium several years ago and that the asset is owned by an LLC that you control. Are you able to homestead this property if it is owned by an LLC?
Homesteading Depends on How the Property is Held
Generally, properties owned by an entity (corporation, partnership, limited partnership, LLC, LLP, etc.) cannot qualify for a relative homestead. This is a relatively complex arena to navigate. It’s a good idea to talk with your team of advisors – your attorney, CPA, and 1031 qualified intermediary about how to best approach this situation in the most tax-advantageous way possible.
