Vacation Homes: New IRS Tax Rules
"Until now, the issue of whether a vacation home qualifies for tax deferral treatment under IRC §1031 was the subject of much scrutiny and uncertainty. To the delight of many tax practitioners, on Feb. 15, the IRS eliminated that uncertainty by issuing Revenue Procedure ("Rev. Proc.") 2008-16, effective March 1 which provides a safe harbor for exchanges of vacation homes (defined as "dwelling unit" in the Rev. Proc.).
Now taxpayers can have a clear understanding of the circumstances under which the IRS will not challenge whether a vacation home will qualify as property "held for investment" under §1031.
• It is owned by the taxpayer for at least 24 months immediately before the exchange ("qualifying use period"); and
• It is owned by the taxpayer for at least 24 months immediately following the exchange ("qualifying use period"); and
Personal use is defined broadly.
Use by the taxpayer or other person having an interest in the dwelling unit and any family member will be considered "personal use" by the taxpayer. Family use includes brothers and sisters (by the whole or half blood), spouses, ancestors, and lineal descendants.
Also, any arrangement whereby fair market rent is not paid will be considered "personal use" by the taxpayer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, use by family members will not be considered "personal use" by the taxpayer only if the dwelling unit is rented at fair market rent and the family member uses it as his principal residence.
Exchanges of vacation homes outside the Rev. Proc. 2008-16 safe harbor. An exchange of a vacation home may still qualify under §1031 even though it falls outside the parameters of Rev. Proc. 2008-16. Any such circumstance will be subject to greater scrutiny and therefore should be carefully planned and reviewed by the taxpayer’s tax advisor."

1031 Exchanges Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who can qualify for an exchange?
Any entity (S-Corp., C-Corp., Pension fund, Partnerships, LLC’s) who owns property held for trade or investment.
2. What is “Like kind”?
It means investment property for investment property. You can exchange a duplex for vacant land, a apartment building for a mobile home park, a rental house for a condo in Florida.
3. How do I choose the replacement property?
You will have to submit by letter, fax or in person a list of the possible replacement property within 45 days of closing on the old property. You can identify up to three properties of any value or as many as you want as long as the combined value does not exceed 200% of the value of the old property.
4. Before I close how long do I have on the new property(ies)?
The IRS allows you 180 days to close on the replacement property(ies).
5. What happens if I can’t meet either time frame? Can I ask for an extension?
Both dates (the 45 day identification period and the 180 days are calendar days and run concurrently.) There are no extensions except in very rare instances like hurricane Katrina.
6. Is a 1031 exchange costly?
No! You will have the normal closing costs as with any real estate transaction. The fee for the exchange will cost about $750 depending on the type of exchange. You will receive any interest earned on the funds which sometimes is more than the exchange costs.
7. Can I purchase the replacement property before I sell my old property?
Yes! This called a reverse exchange. This is a more complex procedure. Contact us before you sign a contract.
8. What happens if I buy a property for less than the one I am selling?
You can defer the amount of tax for the amount you exchange for; you will have to pay tax on any difference.
9. Can I do an exchange for a vacation cabin?
Perhaps. The IRS has specific guidelines for this type of property. But it is possible.
10. Can a dissolving partnership complete a 1031 exchange?
The same entity (tax return) that owned the old property must own the replacement property. There is a procedure that has been used successfully. If the partnership would deed the various percentages to the individual partners before the sale takes place, some or all of the partners could do an exchange with their interest. Click on the 1031 button for more information.
11. Do I have to use a qualified Intermediary?
Yes. IRS regulations make this a requirement.
12. Can I have access to the funds between the time I sell my old property and purchase a replacement property?
No. This would disqualify the exchange.
13. Can I offer seller financing in an exchange?
Seller financing can be considered an installment sale and may be deferrable upon certain conditions. Contact us before signing a contract.
14. Are timber, water rights, and mineral rights eligible for a 1031 exchange?
It depends on which state the property is located. In some states timber is considered real property and in others it is considered personal property. Contact an attorney who specializes in this area.
15. What if my property is condemned or destroyed by acts of nature?
This is called a 1033 exchange. The rules for this are extensive and we recommend that you seek the advice of an attorney or tax professional.
16. What is boot?
Cash boot is where you sell a property for more than the replacement property. The difference is boot and is taxable. For example you sell your property for $500,000 and purchase a replacement property for $450,000 the $50,000 difference is considered boot.
Mortgage boot is when you sell your property for $500,000 and you have a $200,000 mortgage. You must have at least a $200,000 mortgage on the new property. If you have a lesser mortgage on the new property the difference is considered boot. The one exception is you can invest cash to bring the mortgage amount down on the new property.
