In a 1031 exchange, you have 180 days to complete your exchange. If you’re closing near the end of the calendar year, you don’t get your full 180 days if the due date for the filing of your federal income tax return pops up within that 180 day period. What a lot of smart real estate agents and brokers do is send an email to the client (CCing their accountant) that informs them that they may want to file an extension for their tax return in order to get full use of their 180 day exchange period. Remember – you can’t extend the 180 day exchange period. That is set in stone. But you can extend the due date of your federal tax filing. Doing so will allow you to utilize the full extent of your 180 day exchange period.
