Tax Deferred Exchange Reference Manual

Tax Deferred Exchange Reference Manual

There is an amazing amount of information circulating on the Internet today regarding tax-deferred exchanges. There are websites, blogs, PDFs, pamphlets, brochures, books, reference manuals and more about tax-deferred exchanges. There are also tax deferred exchange calendars, calculators, and widgets.

Tax Deferred Exchange Gray Areas Created By the IRS and Congress

The challenge with tax deferred exchanges is that there are many, many gray areas within the 1031 exchange process. The various tax codes, regulations, and rulings have made the tax deferred exchange very complicated and have also left numerous unanswered questions that tax deferred exchange industry experts must interpret.

This is why real estate investors will often find so many tax deferred exchange opinions, theories and facts that contradict each other time after time. Unfortunately, the tax deferred exchange gray areas will remain until the Internal Revenue Service or the courts issue tax deferred exchange rulings with more specific answers.

Tax Deferred Exchange Reference Book

We saw a specific need for a tax deferred exchange reference book that would help real estate investors identify and understand these gray areas and help explain the tax deferred exchange issues involved at a level that everyone could understand.

We did not want to provide the real estate investor with just "our opinion" or "our answer," but wanted to provide all sides to the tax deferred exchange issue in question so that the real estate investor could make a better educated real property investment decision.

So, the tax deferred exchange resource manual was born.
