Biden introduces plan to increase taxes on Real Estate investors
Presidential candidate Joe Biden plans is announcing a $775 Billion dollar plan to boost Child and Elderly care. It’s a decade long plan that will be paid for by reducing or eliminating 1031 tax breaks for real estate investors making more than 400k a year.
Quote from Bloomberg: “a senior campaign official said a Biden administration would take aim at so-called like-kind exchanges, which allow investors to defer paying taxes on the sale of real estate if the capital gains are reinvested in another property.”
According to The NY Times: “Biden’s campaign said the programs, some of which would be operated with state and local officials, would be paid for by rolling back some taxes on real estate investors with incomes over $400,000, as well as by increasing tax enforcement on the wealthy.”
How will this potential new policy impact you?
My first thought, put more emphasis on Cost Segregation Studies to reduce tax liability in a world without/reduced 1031’s
