1031 Client Question

How long do I have to wait before I can sell my replacement property?


There is no specific holding period requirement for the replacement property. If you hold the property for 24 months, the IRS will not challenge whether it meets the qualified use requirement. The qualified use requirement us that the property be held for use in your business or for investment. The IRS takes the position that if the replacement property is disposed of before two years that it wasn’t held for qualified purposes. My recommendation has always been to hold it long enough to be reported on your tax return for two years. In our case that would be 2017 & 2018.
