Section 1031 of the IRS code provides taxpayers a "safe harbor" to defer capital gains tax liability on the sale of qualifying real estate. Properly structured, a 1031 Exchange enables taxpayers to stay in control of their property and financial affairs. Whether consolidating, diversifying, or implementing tax strategies, a 1031 Exchange is a valuable tool available to the real estate owner.
