1031 TAX DEFERRED EXCHANGE INFORMATION - There are two important year-end Section 1031 tax issues to consider. First, all exchanges must be reported (for tax purposes) in the same tax year. If you begin an exchange that crosses a year-end, the documentation and the exchange must be completed prior to filing the tax return for that year. If the 180-day deadline occurs after the due date of the return, then it is necessary to file a request for an extension for the filing of the return or the 180 time frame will be cut short.
