The case law on this type of 1031 Exchange transaction shows that the IRS may consider the exchanger to be a “Dealer” rather than an investor which will disqualify the transaction as a 1031 exchange relinquished property sale. The case law varies in outcomes, but generally, this is not a safe way to proceed.
The Exchanger has only 45 days from the day of closing on its relinquished property to identify possible replacement property. WARNING: Section 1031 and the IRS regulations thereunder have strict requirements for the identification of replacement property.
First, it is not only the capital gains tax that the taxpayer will be deferring payment on, when transacting a Section 1031 exchange, it’s also the additional depreciation recapture tax on the relinquished property, as well as any State income taxes if any.
Pretend my last name is McDonald. Further, pretend that I am a farmer. AND on my farm–E- I, E- I – O, –ENOUGH of the nursery rhyme–but if I had a farm and I lived in the farmhouse but farmed the surrounding land, I would have a mixed-use property. The farmhouse would be my personal residence and the surrounding farmland would be a property that I used in my trade or business (in this case, farming) or was being held as an investment and could be used in a mixed-use 1031 Exchange transaction.

I have been handling Section 1031 tax-deferred exchanges as a Qualified Intermediary for more than 30 years. The following are some of the typical exchange myths I hear repeated almost every day.

Disregarded entity is a term that comes up because I frequently get asked whether the taxpayer/exchanger can take title to their Replacement Property in a different name or different legal entity than the name that was held on their Relinquished (sale) transaction.
