1031 Exchange Requirements Property must be “like-kind” Cost of replacement property
must equal net sales price of
property sold (Maximum gain to
extent of under investment) Mortgaged property exchanged
for mortgaged property results
in gain to extent of net reduction
in debt
![Page 17: Babush, Neiman, Kornman & Johnson, LLP Certified Public Accountants & Consultants](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56815163550346895dbf8dbb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1031 Exchange Requirements Must identify replacement
property within 45 days (can be
more than one property) Must close on replacement
property within 180 days Exchange must be simultaneous
or must use intermediary Interest in a partnership can
not be exchanged
![Page 18: Babush, Neiman, Kornman & Johnson, LLP Certified Public Accountants & Consultants](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56815163550346895dbf8dbb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Related Party Rules & History Rationale for deferral on exchange of like-kind properties: perception that recognition is inappropriate if remain invested in the same kind or class of property No “cashing out” of the investment has occurred Previously related parties could act together to cash out of high basis/low gain property & hold low basis/high gain property (“basis shifting”)
![Page 19: Babush, Neiman, Kornman & Johnson, LLP Certified Public Accountants & Consultants](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56815163550346895dbf8dbb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Related Party Rules -1031 Exchanges
Exchange of property between related parties requires a 2 year holding period of both properties Earlier than 2 year sale triggers gain on property still held! Does not apply where there is no “basis shifting” or tax avoiding motive
![Page 20: Babush, Neiman, Kornman & Johnson, LLP Certified Public Accountants & Consultants](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56815163550346895dbf8dbb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Related Party Rules -1031 Exchanges
Does not apply to sales related to Death Compulsory or involuntary conversion
![Page 21: Babush, Neiman, Kornman & Johnson, LLP Certified Public Accountants & Consultants](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56815163550346895dbf8dbb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Rev Ruling 2002-83 Using unrelated qualified intermediary by related parties for an exchange is not afforded no recognition treatment. Transaction structured to avoid related party rules by using qualified intermediary. Transfer of relinquished property to qualified intermediary in exchange for replacement property formerly owned by related party is not afforded no recognition treatment. Taxpayer has “cashed out”
![Page 22: Babush, Neiman, Kornman & Johnson, LLP Certified Public Accountants & Consultants](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56815163550346895dbf8dbb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Fractional Interests in 1031 Exchanges
Advantages for using fractional ownership to complete 1031 exchange Increased opportunities to identify replacement property within 45 days Ability to buy into institutional grade properties Potential to diversify into multiple properties with fewer dollars Professional management

TIC Central Characteristics
Each owner is deemed to own a physically undivided part of the entire parcel of land
Each TIC is entitled to a proportionate share of the benefits derived from the whole
![Page 29: Babush, Neiman, Kornman & Johnson, LLP Certified Public Accountants & Consultants](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56815163550346895dbf8dbb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
IRS Rulings
Concern over the fractional interest replacement property being considered a partnership interest has prevented investors from being able to buy larger and maybe more attractive properties.

IRS Rulings 1975 Rev. Rul. 75-374
Two-person co-ownership of an apartment building that was rented to tenants did not constitute a partnership for federal tax purposes
Co-owners employed an agent to manage the apartments, collect the rents, pay expenses and provide the tenants with customary services of an apartment building
1979 Rev. Rul. 79-77Three person co-ownership of a
commercial building did not constitute a partnership for the same reasons
![Page 34: Babush, Neiman, Kornman & Johnson, LLP Certified Public Accountants & Consultants](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56815163550346895dbf8dbb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
IRS Rulings
1987, 1991 & 1993, the IRS was successful in classifying co-ownership of leased property as a partnership
Factors that influenced the decision Limitations on the co-owners’ ability to sell their interest Manager’s (usually the sponsor) participation in potential profits and losses
![Page 35: Babush, Neiman, Kornman & Johnson, LLP Certified Public Accountants & Consultants](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56815163550346895dbf8dbb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
IRS Rulings 1990s investment companies (Sponsors) began offering TIC interests to complete 1031 exchanges
Investors receive a deed for a portion of the dirt, rather than a share in an entity Sponsors applied for revenue rulings to approve the use of TICs for replacement property in exchanges
2000 the IRS placed the issue on its list of “no-rule” areas
![Page 36: Babush, Neiman, Kornman & Johnson, LLP Certified Public Accountants & Consultants](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56815163550346895dbf8dbb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Rev. Proc. 2002-22
Addresses the use of fractional interest as replacement property Removes the issue from the “no- rule” list Specifies conditions under which the IRS will consider a request for a ruling in this area Does not provide a safe harbor for fractional interest
![Page 37: Babush, Neiman, Kornman & Johnson, LLP Certified Public Accountants & Consultants](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56815163550346895dbf8dbb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Rev. Proc. 2002-22 Ruling lists 15 conditions for obtaining a ruling
Each co-owner must hold title to dirt as a TIC under local lawThe number of co-owners must be limited to no more than 35, husband and wife are treated as one co-ownerThe co-owners must not file a common tax returnThe co-owners must not have previously held the property as a partnership
![Page 38: Babush, Neiman, Kornman & Johnson, LLP Certified Public Accountants & Consultants](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56815163550346895dbf8dbb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Rev. Proc. 2002-22
Ruling lists 15 conditions for obtaining a ruling
Any decision that has a material effect on the property must be approved unanimously. Material effect includes the decision to sell, sign a new lease and to create new financing. All other decisions require a simple majority vote.
![Page 39: Babush, Neiman, Kornman & Johnson, LLP Certified Public Accountants & Consultants](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56815163550346895dbf8dbb/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Rev. Proc. 2002-22 Possible downside to TIC exchanges
Does the TIC meet the like kind rules of Rev. Proc 2002-22? How do you manage the property with many owners making decisions without having documents that look like a partnership? Need to compare fees to lowered capital gains taxes. Need to look at 25% rate on depreciation recapture. Must have good economic prospects with the acquired real estate. May want to invest in several TIC deals. What is liquidity of deal?
