USC Title 26 enacted through 2008

§ 1031. Exchange of property held for productive use or investment

 
(a)
Nonrecognition of gain or loss from exchanges solely in kind
 
(1)
In general
 
No gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange of property held for productive use in a trade or business or for investment if such property is exchanged solely for property of like kind which is to be held either for productive use in a trade or business or for investment.
 
(2)
Exception
 
This subsection shall not apply to any exchange of -
 
(A)
stock in trade or other property held primarily for sale,
 
(B)
stocks, bonds, or notes,
 
(C)
other securities or evidences of indebtedness or interest,
 
(D)
interests in a partnership,
 
(E)
certificates of trust or beneficial interests, or
 
(F)
choses in action.
 
For purposes of this section, an interest in a partnership which has in effect a valid election under section 761(a) to be excluded from the application of all of subchapter K shall be treated as an interest in each of the assets of such partnership and not as an interest in a partnership.
 
(3)
Requirement that property be identified and that exchange be completed not more than 180 days after transfer of exchanged property
 
For purposes of this subsection, any property received by the taxpayer shall be treated as property which is not like-kind property if -
 
(A)
such property is not identified as property to be received in the exchange on or before the day which is 45 days after the date on which the taxpayer transfers the property relinquished in the exchange, or
 
(B)
such property is received after the earlier of -
 
(i)
the day which is 180 days after the date on which the taxpayer transfers the property relinquished in the exchange, or
 
(ii)
the due date (determined with regard to extension) for the transferor's return of the tax imposed by this chapter for the taxable year in which the transfer of the relinquished property occurs.
 
(b)
Gain from exchanges not solely in kind
 
If an exchange would be within the provisions of subsection (a), of section 1035(a), of section 1036(a), or of section 1037(a), if it were not for the fact that the property received in exchange consists not only of property permitted by such provisions to be received without the recognition of gain, but also of other property or money, then the gain, if any, to the recipient shall be recognized, but in an amount not in excess of the sum of such money and the fair market value of such other property.
 
(c)
Loss from exchanges not solely in kind
 
If an exchange would be within the provisions of subsection (a), of section 1035(a), of section 1036(a), or of section 1037(a), if it were not for the fact that the property received in exchange consists not only of property permitted by such provisions to be received without the recognition of gain or loss, but also of other property or money, then no loss from the exchange shall be recognized.
 
(d)
Basis
 
If property was acquired on an exchange described in this section, section 1035(a), section 1036(a), or section 1037(a), then the basis shall be the same as that of the property exchanged, decreased in the amount of any money received by the taxpayer and increased in the amount of gain or decreased in the amount of loss to the taxpayer that was recognized on such exchange. If the property so acquired consisted in part of the type of property permitted by this section, section 1035(a), section 1036(a), or section 1037(a), to be received without the recognition of gain or loss, and in part of other property, the basis provided in this subsection shall be allocated between the properties (other than money) received, and for the purpose of the allocation there shall be assigned to such other property an amount equivalent to its fair market value at the date of the exchange. For purposes of this section, section 1035(a), and section 1036(a), where as part of the consideration to the taxpayer another party to the exchange assumed (as determined under section 357(d)) a liability of the taxpayer, such assumption shall be considered as money received by the taxpayer on the exchange.
 
(e)
Exchanges of livestock of different sexes
 
For purposes of this section, livestock of different sexes are not property of a like kind.
 
(f)

(A)
a taxpayer exchanges property with a related person,
 
(B)
there is nonrecognition of gain or loss to the taxpayer under this section with respect to the exchange of such property (determined without regard to this subsection), and

(i)

(ii)

(A)
after the earlier of the death of the taxpayer or the death of the related person,
