Question 1

How does a 1031 exchange work in Oregon?

Accepted Answer

A 1031 exchange allows investors to defer capital gains taxes by selling a property and purchasing a like-kind replacement. Oregon generally follows federal guidelines but also enforces a clawback rule that allows the state to collect deferred taxes if the investor leaves Oregon and sells the replacement property later.

Question 2

What is Oregon's Clawback Rule for 1031 Exchanges?

Accepted Answer

Oregon's clawback rule gives the state the right to recover deferred taxes if the replacement property is sold after the investor relocates out of Oregon. This provision helps Oregon recapture tax revenue it would otherwise lose.

Question 3

How long do you have to hold a property for an Oregon 1031 exchange?

Accepted Answer

There is no strict holding period defined by law, but the property must have been held for investment or business purposes. The IRS has suggested that a two-year ownership period typically supports that intent, though it is not legally binding.

Question 4

What voids a 1031 exchange in Oregon?

Accepted Answer

An exchange can be invalidated if the investor misses deadlines, takes possession of the sale proceeds, purchases non-qualifying property, or fails to use a Qualified Intermediary/Exchange Facilitator.
