What now? How does this affect you from a tax perspective? What are your options?

We’re going to unravel this mystery today on Go Ahead, ASK!

We demystify what qualifies and what doesn’t when an involuntary conversion occurs, and you are faced with structuring a 1033 Exchange. Discussion includes compliance issues such as what kind of real or personal property qualifies for 1033 Exchange treatment, what types of replacement property would be classified as Qualified Use and Like-Kind, what deadlines are involved, what and how much do you have to reinvest to satisfy the reinvestment requirements, how cash or equity that is not reinvested is treated for tax purposes and how a 1033 Exchange is reported.
