If you’ve ever sold a piece of real property, you’re likely familiar with capital gains taxes. In this article, we are going to talk about capital gains taxes – when you owe them and when you’re exempt from them.
Capital Gains Taxes on Real Estate
Capital gains taxes are taxes imposed on the sale of certain assets – such as real estate. When you sell real estate in a standard transaction, you will owe capital gains taxes on that sale.
Defer Taxes with a 1031 Exchange
If you want to avoid a big capital gains tax bill when selling real estate – a 1031 exchange is your ticket! Like-kind exchanges allow you to defer your capital gains taxes on the sale of real property. In order to defer your taxes, you need to redeploy your sales proceeds into a new (bigger) replacement property, and meet various other requirements set out by the IRS. When done correctly, a 1031 exchange can help you avoid a huge tax hit. The biggest benefit is that you can keep your money working for you in a continued investment – building wealth over time.
