Frequently Asked Questions
Straightforward answers for investors navigating a 1031 exchange in North Carolina.
What are the 45 and 180 day deadlines?
From the day you close on your relinquished property you have 45 days to identify replacement properties in writing and 180 days to close on the replacement. Missing either deadline disqualifies the exchange.
What counts as like-kind property?
Any real property held for productive use in a trade, business, or for investment is like-kind to other real property held for the same purposes. Quality or grade does not matter, but personal property does not qualify.
What is boot and how is it taxed?
Boot is any cash, debt relief, or non-like-kind property received in the exchange. Boot is taxable as capital gain and, when applicable, as depreciation recapture in the year of the exchange.
Do I pay county transfer tax in North Carolina?
Yes. A 1031 exchange defers federal and North Carolina state income tax on qualifying real property. It does not remove county transfer taxes or municipal excise requirements.
Can I complete a reverse exchange?
Yes. Reverse exchanges use an Exchange Accommodation Titleholder that parks either the relinquished or replacement property while you complete the transaction within 180 days.
How do I report the exchange with Form 8824?
File IRS Form 8824 with your federal return for the year of the exchange. Report key dates, property descriptions, fair market values, and any boot received. Reference North Carolina DOR guidance for state reporting.
