Despite the best preparation – 1031 exchanges sometimes fail. But there are options for salvaging what’s left of your exchange. In this article, we are going to discuss some options for what to do when your 1031 exchange of real estate fails.
What Happens When a 1031 Exchange Fails?
First off, what do we mean when we say “failed” 1031 exchange? A failed 1031 exchange is an exchange in which the taxpayer is not able to defer their capital gains taxes on the sale. Failed exchanges can be caused by a number of factors, including:
Constructive receipt of taxable boot by the taxpayer conducting the exchange
Failure to complete the exchange process within the 180 day time period
Failure to abide by the property identification rules, qualifying purpose rules, or any other guidelines set out by the IRS for 1031 exchanges.
