What is IRC 1031 Exchange & How to Apply It (Live: #3482 / Zoom: #3796) - A class defining the Tax code 1031. Whenever you sell business or investment property and you have a gain, you generally have to pay tax on the gain at the time of sale.

Gain deferred in a like-kind exchange under IRC Section 1031 is tax-deferred, but it is not tax-free. Taught by John Starling with National Realty Exchange Corporation.
