IRS Extends 1031 Like-Kind Exchange Deadlines in the Wake of Various Natural Disasters
Each listed Disaster Areas has its own Disaster Date on which tax relief, including the extension of 1031 Exchange deadlines, is keyed. The IRS’s Disaster Relief Notices, in conjunction with Revenue Procedure 2018-58, give taxpayers two options to extend their 1031 Exchange deadlines: a general relief option (for Exchanges in progress on or after the Disaster Date) and an extended relief option (for Exchanges in progress on or before the Disaster Date). Depending on when your Exchange began, you may qualify for one or both of these options.
Please consult with your tax advisor for further guidance. The Notice reference and Disaster Date for each Disaster Area follows.
