1031 Exchange Timeline
The timeline to complete a 1031 exchange is very strict, encompassing a 45-/180-day period. This means there is a deadline to satisfy by day 45 and another to satisfy by day 180.
The 1031 exchange timeline begins the day the relinquished property is sold:
- You have 45 days to identify your replacement property(s)*
- You have 180 days to acquire your replacement property(s)
You should seek and obtain the services of a Qualified Intermediary prior to the sale of your relinquished property. The time needed to secure your Qualified Intermediary does not count towards the 45-/180-day 1031 exchange timeline.
The 1031 exchange timeline requires the exchange to be completed in 180 days total, not 45 days plus 180 days.
Closing on the replacement property must take place by day 180 or, if earlier, by the due date for filing the tax return for the year in which the relinquished property was sold.
*There are a number of permissible ways to identify replacement property and the best way to identify will vary depending on your situation.
