Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Do mineral rights automatically qualify for a 1031 exchange?
No automatic rule should be assumed. The IRS limits Section 1031 to qualifying real property held for business or investment and excludes property held primarily for sale. Whether a particular mineral interest and transaction qualify depends on the facts and structure, so confirm eligibility before signing.
When should I ask about a 1031 exchange?
Ask before entering a binding sale or moving sale proceeds. The identity of the taxpayer, transaction structure, use of an intermediary, replacement property, and statutory deadlines can matter. A late review may leave fewer options.
What records help with mineral-rights tax planning?
Gather acquisition or inheritance records, basis information if available, deeds and assignments, the proposed purchase agreement, closing estimates, payment history, prior tax reporting, and details about any replacement property being considered. A tax adviser may request additional records.
