1031 Exchange DST Tax Consequences To The Investor

With DST 1031 exchange properties investors are able to utilize depreciation and interest write-offs to partially shelter their estimated distributions from taxes. This allows for tax-advantaged potential rental income to the investor in a 1031 exchange DST. This is another reason why many people have invested non-1031 exchange discretionary funds into DST 1031 real estate. A typical DST 1031 exchange property can be closed anywhere from 48 hours to five business days after submitting subscription documents on the 1031 exchange DST. DST 1031 exchange properties can be closed on this quickly because typically all of the appraisals, environmental reports, property condition reports, financing, tenants, and formal documents have already been finalized in the PPM, as DST 1031 exchange properties are pre selected portfolios for 1031 exchange DST investors. This is one of the reasons why DST 1031 exchange properties have become very popular with investors that are in their 45-day identification period and close to running the risk of a failed traditional 1031 exchange and a major tax burden of paying the capital gains.

DST 1031 exchange  investors do not receive a K-1 or 1099 at the end of the year for tax purposes. At the end of the year you will receive an operating statement (sometimes referred to as a substitute 1099). This will show your pro-rata portion of the DST properties rental income and expenses. You will then provide this to your CPA, who will take this information and input it into Schedule E on your tax return, the same as all of your other commercial and rental properties.

DST 1031 exchange  properties are only available to accredited investors. An accredited investor (1) is generally defined as an investor with a net worth (assets minus liabilities) of greater than $1 million, exclusive of primary residence. That being said, there are a number of ways that an entity can potentially qualify as an accredited investor, and we encourage all investors to speak with their CPA and attorney before considering a DST 1031 exchange investment to fully ascertain if you and your investment entity (trust, partnership, LLC, etc.) qualify as an accredited investor.
