There have been a lot of questions surrounding the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act over the past several months. We’re going to continue exploring the ramifications of the TCJA on 1031 exchanges. In this article, we are going to talk about whether or not the new tax law will lead to an increase in 1031 exchanges moving forward.
Real Estate Exchanges
The new Tax Cuts & Jobs Act preserved the 1031 exchange as part of the GOPs tax overhaul. That was welcome news to real estate investors who understand the true benefit of the 1031 exchange as an investment tool and economic driver. Since there were no massive changes to 1031 exchanges of real estate with the new law, one might predict that exchanges of real property will remain relatively steady moving forward.
Goodbye Personal Property Exchanges
The opposite is true for 1031 exchanges of personal property. As we’ve mentioned before, personal property exchanges got the axe with the passage of the TCJA. That means personal property 1031 exchanges will not be allowed moving forward (as of January 1, 2018).
