Questions we answer often

What is a delayed exchange and how does it differ from other exchange types in Fort Worth, TX?

A delayed exchange in Fort Worth, TX allows you to sell your relinquished property first, then identify and acquire replacement properties within specific timeframes. The Qualified Intermediary holds your sale proceeds in qualified escrow during the exchange period. This differs from simultaneous exchanges where both transactions close on the same day, and from reverse exchanges where you acquire the replacement property first. Delayed exchanges provide forty five days to identify replacement properties and one hundred eighty days to complete the acquisition.

What are the identification rules for delayed exchanges in Fort Worth, TX?

In Fort Worth, TX, delayed exchanges require you to identify replacement properties in writing within forty five days of selling your relinquished property. You can identify up to three properties of any value, or any number of properties as long as their total value does not exceed two hundred percent of your relinquished property value. The identification must be delivered to the Qualified Intermediary, seller, or other parties involved. You must then acquire at least one identified property within one hundred eighty days of the sale.

How does boot work in delayed exchanges in Fort Worth, TX?

Boot in a delayed exchange in Fort Worth, TX refers to any cash or non like kind property received that is not reinvested. To achieve full tax deferral, you must reinvest all net proceeds and acquire replacement properties of equal or greater value than your relinquished property. If you receive cash or if your replacement property value is less, that portion constitutes boot and may be subject to capital gains tax. Mortgage boot occurs when your replacement property debt is less than your relinquished property debt.

What happens if I miss the forty five day identification deadline in Fort Worth, TX?

If you miss the forty five day identification deadline in Fort Worth, TX, your delayed exchange will fail. This deadline is strict and cannot be extended except in limited circumstances such as presidentially declared disasters. Without proper identification, you cannot complete a valid exchange and will be required to pay capital gains taxes on your sale proceeds. Working with experienced professionals helps ensure you meet this critical deadline and properly document your identification.

Can I change my identified replacement properties in Fort Worth, TX?

In Fort Worth, TX, you generally cannot change your identified replacement properties after the forty five day deadline has passed. However, if you identified three properties, you can choose which ones to acquire as long as you acquire at least one within one hundred eighty days. If you identified properties under the two hundred percent rule, you must acquire all identified properties. It is important to carefully consider your identification choices within the forty five day period.

What are the benefits of a delayed exchange in Fort Worth, TX?
