Many taxpayers have heard of the tax-saving benefits of 1031 exchanges, but don’t know where to begin. Here’s what you need to start a 1031 exchange of real estate or personal property.
Contact A Qualified Intermediary
First thing’s first, contact a qualified intermediary! This should be the first step in any 1031 exchange. Your intermediary will advise you on the details of your exchange, answer your questions, and request all the required information from you to compile the 1031 exchange documents.
Provide Your Information to Your Intermediary
After you have contacted your intermediary, you should start compiling information regarding your transaction. Your qualified intermediary will need all of the following information to begin your exchange:
Your personal identification information. Your name, SSN, and contact information.
The name and contact information of your title company.
Copies of the purchase agreement and title report.
Using this information, your qualified intermediary will begin drafting your 1031 exchange documents and have these ready when you close on your replacement property.
Identification of Replacement Properties
Once you’ve completed the sale of your relinquished property, it’s time to identify your replacement properties in writing. Your qualified intermediary will help advise you on replacement properties and help prepare the required identification forms.
