1031 Exchange Tax Planning

Structured guidance for real estate investors navigating like-kind exchanges

Veritas Business Solutions provides coordinated tax planning and reporting support for 1031 exchanges, helping property owners defer capital gains while maintaining compliance with strict IRS requirements. A 1031 exchange can preserve capital and support portfolio growth when executed properly. It can also create significant tax exposure if deadlines or documentation requirements are missed. Careful coordination and disciplined oversight are essential from the beginning of the transaction through final reporting.

What a 1031 exchange requires in real life

Strict timelines, documentation, and procedural discipline

A valid like-kind exchange requires adherence to IRS rules, including the 45-day identification period and the 180-day closing window. Funds must be handled by a qualified intermediary, and replacement properties must meet like-kind standards.


We work alongside your intermediary, legal advisors, and transaction professionals to ensure the exchange structure aligns with your broader tax picture. This includes reviewing adjusted basis, depreciation history, and projected gain exposure before the sale closes.

Coordination beyond the transaction itself

A 1031 exchange is not only about deferring gain on the relinquished property. Depreciation recapture, replacement property basis, and future exit strategy must all be considered. Poor coordination can create confusion in future filings or unintended tax consequences upon later sale.


We help ensure that the new property’s basis is tracked accurately and that deferred gain is documented properly. When exchanges intersect with trusts, partnerships, or multi-owner entities, additional layers of review are required to maintain compliance.


With Veritas Business Solutions, 1031 exchange reporting is approached with structure and long-term awareness, not just transactional focus.
