As anticipated by many, the IRS issued a Notice on April 9, 2020, extending 1031 Tax-Deferred Exchange deadlines. The Notice extends any 45-day identification period deadline or 180-day acquisition period deadline that occurs between April 1 and July 14 to July 15, 2020.
To illustrate these extensions, here is a case in which our company brokered the sale of a property which closed on March 12, 2020 with a calculation of the identification period to expire on April 26, 2020 (45 days from the closing date of the relinquished property). The new 45-day identification period has now been extended to July 15, 2020. The 180-day period to close on the acquisition property remains the same, September 8, 2020 because that date falls outside of the July 15, 2020 time period.
1031 Tax-Deferred Exchanges have advantages, but it is important to get the details right.
