Real Estate Math

A NJ seller received $1.2 million for a commercial property they purchased for $800,000. After a 1031 exchange, what gain is deferred?

A$400,000
B$0 (all gains deferred in a proper exchange)✓ Correct
C$200,000
D$800,000

Explanation

In a properly executed 1031 exchange where equal or greater value is reinvested and all requirements are met, the entire recognized gain ($400,000 in this case) is deferred—no capital gains tax is paid at the time of the exchange.
