Section 1031

A section of the Internal Revenue Code that allows for the deferral of capital gains taxes on the exchange of two assets, of like kind even if of different quality, provided that the assets are used for a business purpose. Under Section 1031, the goods exchanged are not assessed capital gains taxes, or more properly, capital gains taxes are deferred until an asset is resold with no intention of reinvestment. Section 1031 also allows one to sell an asset with the intention to use the proceeds to buy a similar asset. For example, if a farmer sells his farm and uses the money to buy another farm, capital gains taxes are likely deferred on the money he made on the sale of the first farm. The same would be true if the he traded a farm for a farm. Stocks and bonds are expressly excluded from this preferential treatment.

Thank goodness for Internal Revenue Code Section 1031, which allowed for the realization that, unlike selling an investment interest in one business entity (such as the Coca-Cola Corporation) and then reinvesting in another business entity (such as the Pepsi Corporation), selling a real property and then immediately exchanging it for another like-kind real property was not a change in the actual investment at all, and therefore should not be taxed.
