Section 1031 has detailed eligibility, related-party, timing and qualified-intermediary rules. This is an educational reinvestment check, not tax advice.

IRS timing

Identification and completion deadlines matter

A deferred exchange is highly procedural. The calculator surfaces the commonly cited 45-day identification and 180-day exchange deadlines, but it cannot determine whether a transaction qualifies.

Important limitation

This is a reinvestment check, not a tax-return calculator

Depreciation recapture, basis, boot, related-party rules, exchange expenses and transaction structure can change recognized gain. Use the output to prepare questions for a qualified professional.

1031 exchange FAQs

What is the 45-day rule in a 1031 exchange?

IRS guidance requires replacement property to be identified within 45 days of transferring the relinquished property, subject to the applicable identification rules.

What is the 180-day rule?

The replacement property generally must be received by the earlier of 180 days after the transfer or the due date, including extensions, of the relevant tax return.

What is boot?

Boot is non-like-kind value received in an exchange, such as cash or certain net debt relief. It can cause some gain to be recognized. This calculator shows a planning indicator, not a tax determination.

Does AR Empires act as a qualified intermediary?

No. This tool is educational only. A valid deferred exchange normally requires proper exchange documentation and a qualified intermediary before the sale proceeds are received by the taxpayer.
