Some states in the union have unique interpretations of section 1031 of the IRC. Pennsylvania is one such state and conducting an exchange there brings a lot of potential challenges. In this article, we are going to talk about 1031 exchanges in the state of Pennsylvania and how state tax law can impact 1031 exchange transaction.
State vs. Federal Tax Law
Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code deals with taxation on the federal level, which means taxpayers can do a 1031 exchange regardless of where they live in the United States. However, various states apply their own layer of taxation to 1031 exchange transactions, which can make matters even more complex.
Pennsylvania 1031 Exchanges
Pennsylvania does not recognize the deferral of gains under section 1031 for state tax purposes. That means if you sell a piece of real property in Pennsylvania you have to report all gains and pay the appropriate taxes on your state income tax form. You can, however, still benefit from federal tax deferral with your 1031 exchange.
