The book describes how real estate investors can safely defer capital gains tax by using a qualified intermediary to do a like kind exchange.

This book explains the process step by step so that taxpayers can successfully compete their exchange. The criteria for qualifying properties is clearly explained. Worksheets in the book allow the taxpayer to compute the dederal tax that will be due if the taxpayer does not do an exchange. The important reinvestment requirements are explained in detail to ensure that the exchange will be fully tax free. The 45-day identification requirement and the 180-day exchange period are explained. A sample indentification letter is included for taxpayer use. Special exchange subjects included in the book include how to do a reverse exchange, combining an installment sale with a like kind exchange, how to convert your real estate rental into your principal residence, and the growing use of Tenancy-In-Common (TIC) commercial properties to complete an exchange. The actual Internal Revenue Code and IRS Regulations on like kind exchanges are included in the book's appendix.
