California Proposes to Limit 1031 Exchange Like-Kind Replacement Property to Within California Borders

The California Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) has issued a proposed change to California's treatment of 1031 exchanges. The proposed change would disallow 1031 exchanges of California real property into out-of-state "commercial" property (commercial property has not been adequately defined at this point in time).

Federal Taxes Still Deferred; but California State Income Taxes Would Be Recognized

This proposed change would mean that an investor could still complete a 1031 exchange and the Federal income tax consequences would continue to be tax deferred, but any California state income tax liabilities would be realized and recognized unless the like-kind replacement property was also acquired within the state of California.

We will provide you with updated information as it becomes available.

Somebody should tell the California lawmakers that there are plenty of other states that welcome businesses and investors with open arms.
