§ 1031. Exchange of real property held for pro-
ductive use or investment
(a) Nonrecognition of gain or loss from ex-
changes solely in kind
(1) In general
No gain or loss shall be recognized on the ex-
change of real property held for productive use
in a trade or business or for investment if such
real property is exchanged solely for real prop-
erty of like kind which is to be held either for
productive use in a trade or business or for in-
vestment.
(2) Exception for real property held for sale
This subsection shall not apply to any ex-
change of real property held primarily for
sale.
(3) Requirement that property be identified
and that exchange be completed not more
than 180 days after transfer of exchanged
property
For purposes of this subsection, any prop-
erty received by the taxpayer shall be treated
as property which is not like-kind property
if—
(A) such property is not identified as prop-
erty to be received in the exchange on or be-
fore the day which is 45 days after the date
on which the taxpayer transfers the property
relinquished in the exchange, or
(B) such property is received after the ear-
lier of—
(i) the day which is 180 days after the
date on which the taxpayer transfers the
property relinquished in the exchange, or
(ii) the due date (determined with regard
to extension) for the transferor’s return of
the tax imposed by this chapter for the
taxable year in which the transfer of the
relinquished property occurs.
(b) Gain from exchanges not solely in kind
If an exchange would be within the provisions
of subsection (a), of section 1035(a), of section
1036(a), or of section 1037(a), if it were not for the
fact that the property received in exchange con-
sists not only of property permitted by such pro-
visions to be received without the recognition of
Page 2271
TITLE 26—INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
§ 1031
gain, but also of other property or money, then
the gain, if any, to the recipient shall be recog-
nized, but in an amount not in excess of the sum
of such money and the fair market value of such
other property.
(c) Loss from exchanges not solely in kind
If an exchange would be within the provisions
of subsection (a), of section 1035(a), of section
1036(a), or of section 1037(a), if it were not for the
fact that the property received in exchange con-
sists not only of property permitted by such pro-
visions to be received without the recognition of
gain or loss, but also of other property or
money, then no loss from the exchange shall be
recognized.
(d) Basis
If property was acquired on an exchange de-
scribed in this section, section 1035(a), section
1036(a), or section 1037(a), then the basis shall be
the same as that of the property exchanged, de-
creased in the amount of any money received by
the taxpayer and increased in the amount of
gain or decreased in the amount of loss to the
taxpayer that was recognized on such exchange.
If the property so acquired consisted in part of
the type of property permitted by this section,
section 1035(a), section 1036(a), or section 1037(a),
to be received without the recognition of gain or
loss, and in part of other property, the basis pro-
vided in this subsection shall be allocated be-
tween the properties (other than money) re-
ceived, and for the purpose of the allocation
there shall be assigned to such other property an
amount equivalent to its fair market value at
the date of the exchange. For purposes of this
section, section 1035(a), and section 1036(a),
where as part of the consideration to the tax-
payer another party to the exchange assumed
(as determined under section 357(d)) a liability
of the taxpayer, such assumption shall be con-
sidered as money received by the taxpayer on
the exchange.
(e) Application to certain partnerships
For purposes of this section, an interest in a
partnership which has in effect a valid election
under section 761(a) to be excluded from the ap-
plication of all of subchapter K shall be treated
as an interest in each of the assets of such part-
nership and not as an interest in a partnership.
(f) Special rules for exchanges between related
persons
(1) In general
If—
(A) a taxpayer exchanges property with a
related person,
(B) there is nonrecognition of gain or loss
to the taxpayer under this section with re-
spect to the exchange of such property (de-
termined without regard to this subsection),
and
(C) before the date 2 years after the date of
the last transfer which was part of such ex-
change—
(i) the related person disposes of such
property, or
(ii) the taxpayer disposes of the property
received in the exchange from the related
person which was of like kind to the prop-
erty transferred by the taxpayer,
there shall be no nonrecognition of gain or
loss under this section to the taxpayer with
respect to such exchange; except that any gain
or loss recognized by the taxpayer by reason of
this subsection shall be taken into account as
of the date on which the disposition referred
to in subparagraph (C) occurs.
(2) Certain dispositions not taken into account
For purposes of paragraph (1)(C), there shall
not be taken into account any disposition—
(A) after the earlier of the death of the
taxpayer or the death of the related person,
(B) in a compulsory or involuntary conver-
sion (within the meaning of section 1033) if
the exchange occurred before the threat or
imminence of such conversion, or
(C) with respect to which it is established
to the satisfaction of the Secretary that nei-
ther the exchange nor such disposition had
as one of its principal purposes the avoid-
ance of Federal income tax.
(3) Related person
For purposes of this subsection, the term
‘‘related person’’ means any person bearing a
relationship to the taxpayer described in sec-
tion 267(b) or 707(b)(1).
(4) Treatment of certain transactions
This section shall not apply to any exchange
which is part of a transaction (or series of
transactions) structured to avoid the purposes
of this subsection.
(g) Special rule where substantial diminution of
risk
(1) In general
If paragraph (2) applies to any property for
any period, the running of the period set forth
in subsection (f)(1)(C) with respect to such
property shall be suspended during such pe-
riod.
(2) Property to which subsection applies
This paragraph shall apply to any property
for any period during which the holder’s risk
of loss with respect to the property is substan-
tially diminished by—
(A) the holding of a put with respect to
such property,
(B) the holding by another person of a
right to acquire such property, or
(C) a short sale or any other transaction.
(h) Special rules for foreign real property
Real property located in the United States and
real property located outside the United States
are not property of a like kind.

(1) **In general** — No gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange of real property held for productive use in a trade or business or for investment if such real property is exchanged solely for real property of like kind which is to be held either for productive use in a trade or business or for investment.
(2) **Exception for real property held for sale** — This subsection shall not apply to any exchange of real property held primarily for sale.
(3) **Requirement that property be identified and that exchange be completed not more than 180 days after transfer of exchanged property** — For purposes of this subsection, any property received by the taxpayer shall be treated as property which is not like-kind property if—
(A) such property is not identified as property to be received in the exchange on or before the day which is 45 days after the date on which the taxpayer transfers the property relinquished in the exchange, or
(B) such property is received after the earlier of—
(i) the day which is 180 days after the date on which the taxpayer transfers the property relinquished in the exchange, or
(ii) the due date (determined with regard to extension) for the transferor’s return of the tax imposed by this chapter for the taxable year in which the transfer of the relinquished property occurs.
