Track basic 1031 timing milestones to discuss with a qualified intermediary.

Estimate

Identification:
90 days from today.
180-day receipt mark:
225 days from today.

Enter whole days from today until you expect to transfer the property you are selling. Both results count from today, including the time before that transfer. For a deferred exchange, replacement property generally must be identified within 45 days after the transfer and received by the earlier of 180 days after the transfer or the due date, including extensions, of your federal income tax return for the year of the transfer. Both periods run from the same transfer. [1] The second result shows only the 180-day mark; it does not calculate an earlier tax-return deadline. Confirm the actual dates with your qualified intermediary and tax advisor.

This is for general informational purposes only. Consult with your CPA, tax advisor, and/or attorney for guidance specific to your situation.
