Details

Code Section 1031 like-kind exchanges have an essential place in business and investment tax planning. Indeed, there is an entire industry that has grown up to support and consummate such exchanges on the heels of the Starker decision, which validated deferred three-party exchanges. The advent of corporate accommodators, and the adoption of taxpayer-friendly regulations that codified much of the post-Starker practices by tax advisors, have led to a large body of law, rulings and practices. The apparent simplicity of Section 1031 has lulled many advisors into believing that handling exchanges is simple. But the devil is in the details--and the regulations can be understood only if you understand the evolution of the law and the rulings leading to the regulations.

CCH's Like-Kind Exchanges Under Code Section 1031 (2013), part of the CCH Tax Spotlight Series analyzes the essential legal means available to swap one asset for another while holding a continuing investment of the same sort in a tax-advantaged way. This brand new resource, written by acknowledged exchange expert, Nancy N. Grekin, J.D., is intended to aid tax and real estate practitioners and professionals in understanding the various types of exchanges, how to structure exchanges, the mechanics of handling exchanges, and the myriad of details resulting from the related cases, IRS Rulings and Private Letter Rulings--both before and after Starker and the regulations.

Written in clear, easy-to-understand language, Like-Kind Exchanges Under Code Section 1031 introduces the law and defines the important terms involved; it describes situations where such exchanges may be advantageous and situations where such exchanges may be disadvantageous; explains documentation procedures; examines case law and IRS rulings related to such exchanges; and explores the like-kind test and other important provisions of the law.
