Eight years after the enactment of Section 1031(f), the IRS surprised many tax professionals with the 9748006 Tax Advisory Memorandum, which stated that replacement property could not be acquired from a related party. The memorandum states that tax evasion in such situations is the main motivation for the purchase of a replacement property. • Immediate family members - spouses, siblings, ancestors and descendants of the lineage; • A dealer and trustee of a trust; • The executor of an estate is a related party to the beneficiaries of the estate; • Individuals, corporations, LLCs or partnerships in which more than 50% of the shares, members` participation or participation in the partnership, whether direct or indirect, are held by the taxpayer; • Two companies if they are members of the same controlled group. However, you generally have the right to defer tax obligations if you are buying real estate from a related party and your related party also enters into its own 1031 Exchange transaction with the proceeds from the sale of your purchase of the related party`s property, or if you can prove that the transaction did not result in a basic income tax exchange (tax avoidance). Taxpayers who trade with a related party or sell to a related party should be able to structure a valid exchange as long as the taxpayer and the related party hold the immovable property acquired in exchange for a period of at least two years after the last transfer to the stock exchange. Taxpayers who buy from a related party will usually find that their exchanges are disqualified. There are a few exceptions and it is important to discuss the exchange with your tax advisor. Often, a taxpayer sells the abandoned property to a related party while acquiring replacement property from an unaffiliated party. This structure is not prohibited by the related party rules, as it does not imply that the taxpayer transfers the tax base to the property sold (it is transferred to the acquired property), and therefore there is no possibility of tax abuse that the regulation seeks to curb.

Between 2007 and 2010, there were a number of decisions by private letter from the IRS confirming this position. Under section 1031(f)(2)(C) and (f)(4) of the IRC, related party exchanges are not permitted if they are part of a transaction (or series of transactions) structured in such a way as to avoid the payment of federal income tax or the purposes of the Related Party Rules. In determining whether these sections apply, the IRS tends to treat the total tax income from related party transactions as a consolidated entity. Even if there is no land transfer, an exchange in which a replacement property is acquired from a related party (which does not also make an exchange) will not be allowed if the tied seller ultimately pays less tax on the sale of the replacement property than the exchanger would have paid when selling its abandoned property. due to factors such as net operating losses or lower tax rates available to the affiliated seller. Ocmulgee Fields, Inc. v. CIR, 132 T.C. No. 6 aff`d 613 F.3d 1360 (11th Cir. 2010), Teruya Brothers, Ltd.

V. CIR, 124 T.C. No. 4, aff`d 580 F.3d 1038 (9th Cir. 2009), PLR 201013038. Conversely, the IRS maintained exchanges where it could be demonstrated that there was no change of basis and that avoiding federal income tax was not a primary objective of the transaction, notwithstanding the fact that the taxpayer and related parties exchanged real estate and the related buyer then voluntarily sold the property it had acquired from the taxpayer shortly after the exchange. The 200706001 and 200730002 of the DPP. With Rev. Decision 2002-83 The IRS further clarifies the rules applicable to related party transactions.

The decision makes it clear that the acquisition of replacement property from a related party violates both Article 1031(f)(1) and Article 1031(f)(4). (ii) the taxable person disposes of the assets received from the exchanger which were similar to the assets transferred by the taxable person. As mentioned above, the related party rules provide for a two-year holding period for real estate acquired in the course of an exchange and, in some cases, prohibit trading with a related party. Paragraph 1031(f)(2) contains three exceptions to the limits imposed by paragraph 1031(f)(1). First, the parties may dispose of their immovable property during the two-year holding period following the death of the taxpayer or related party. Second, if the assets of one of the parties are involuntarily converted before the end of the two-year period, this provision does not trigger a taxable event for the parties. Finally, negotiation with a related party will not disqualify the exchange if it "is determined to the satisfaction of the Secretary that neither the exchange nor such an injunction had as its primary purpose the avoidance of federal income tax." There are some exceptions to the rule that related parties must keep their acquired property in exchange for two years. These exceptions are discussed later in this article. The tax deferral option available for all 1031 exchanges will continue to apply to 1031 Exchange related party transactions.

In many situations, tax deferrals combined with estate planning goals make the 1031 Exchange linked part a very attractive strategy. Some decisions have allowed a taxpayer to buy from a related party, provided that the related party also makes an exchange. In these cases, the related party purchased replacement goods in its exchange from an unaffiliated party. For example, selling rental property to an LLC owned by your father would violate the rules for related parties. But if your father owns only 33% of the LLC and two of his friends (who are not related to you) own the remaining 67%, the LLC is not considered a related party and your sale and exchange are good. In the past, some people have tried to circumvent restrictions on related parties by establishing their trade with an intermediary. The theory was that the intermediary was in fact negotiating with the taxpayer and therefore not an exchange with related parties. However, several cases and judgments have held that the use of an intermediary does not remove restrictions on related parties because Section 1031(f)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code states that the benefits of Section 1031 "do not apply to an exchange that is part of a transaction (or series of transactions) structured in such a way that: that the objectives of this subsection are avoided". Before the IRS imposed limits on the exchange of affiliated parties, siblings could exchange real estate. Joan`s pre-exchange base in the camp would be moved to the building.

Joan could then sell the apartment to an independent party without paying capital gains tax. A common question we receive from married women at this point when we discuss the rules is, "Since my father`s name is different from my married name, how would the IRS know we are related?" The answer is that they probably won`t — but one of the questions on Form 8824 (the IRS form you use to report your exchange) asks if your exchange is with a related party. If you answer "no" and the IRS finds out that you actually sold the property to your father, you have big problems. So don`t play games. Two-year holding period: According to Article 1031(f) of the IRC, it is clear that two related parties who own separate properties can "exchange" those properties with each other and defer profit recognition as long as both parties hold their replacement properties two years after the exchange.
