PUBLIC BENEFIT vs. PUBLIC USE

CITY OF TEMPE ARGUED FOR A “PUBLIC BENEFIT”

A 1033 Exchange does not require the use of a qualified intermediary (you can take the proceeds of the sale as long as you reinvest them according to the rules within 2 to 3 years) while a 1031 Exchange requires the funds be placed with a neutral third party. Also, the taxpayer can complete the exchange by making improvements in property already owned unlike a 1031 exchange that requires that a new property be purchased.

Property owners should carefully review their situation with their tax advisor in both the planning and execution phase of doing a 1033 Exchange.
