About This Course:
If tax law were music, 1031 exchanges and Opportunity Zones are the punk rock of the tax code.
This session turns the volume up to eleven, going deep into complex 1031 structures: improvement exchanges, related party ground leases, reverse exchanges, and improvement exchanges.
Property identification issues, constructive receipt, and real property/personal property issues are covered in the context of recent regulatory and judicial guidance. Opportunity Zones are compared and contrasted to 1031 exchanges with an emphasis on combining the strategies into one model. OZ qualifying property and QOZ/QOZB structures are discussed in detail. The encore features advanced 1031 topics like DSTs, TICs, Drop & Swaps, and recapture covered in real life examples.
