Congratulations. Your home is in escrow and now you begin to worry about the tax ramifications connected to your proceeds. Did you know that Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Tax Code states that a property owner may trade one property for another without having to pay any federal income taxes (Capitol Gains) on the transaction? Today, a sale and a reinvestment in a replacement property are converted into an exchange by means of an exchange agreement and the services of a qualified intermediary (QI)-a fourth party who helps to ensure that the exchange is structured properly. Of course there are some rules and guidelines that must be followed but believe it or not, the IRS’S regulations make exchanging easy, inexpensive, and safe.
