1031's May Bridge the Tax Cliff in CA

For net lease owners in California, 1031 exchanges just became a much more popular option. Due to some bold new changes in the tax code, a California resident selling a $1 million investment property in Ca. potentially faces:

  • 20% capital gains
  • 3.8% Medicare (due to the law just coming into effect it’s still not known if this can be deferred)
  • 13% State Tax in California
  • 25% Depreciation Recapture

Needless to say, these higher tax rates don’t exactly make California the land of Milk & Honey for property owners looking to sell their investment.
