Taxpayer owns commercial real estate in California. Does California follow federal with regard to 1031 exchanges in the following circumstances:
- Taxpayer is a California resident before and after the 1031 exchange involving Calif. replacement property.
- Taxpayer is a California resident before and after the 1031 exchange involving non-Calif. replacement property.
- Taxpayer is a California resident, and then becomes a Calif. nonresident before the 1031 exchange involving Calif. replacement property.
- Taxpayer is a California resident, and then becomes a Calif. nonresident before the 1031 exchange involving non-Calif. replacement property.
- Taxpayer is a California resident, and then becomes a Calif. nonresident after the 1031 exchange involving Calif. replacement property.
- Taxpayer is a California resident, and then becomes a Calif. nonresident after the 1031 exchange involving non-Calif. replacement property.
Basically, the taxpayer is getting fed up with California taxes, and is considering various options regarding his becoming a nonresident, and his options and strategies regarding his income property in California.
If he is able to avoid California taxes by doing a 1031 exchange for non-California property, will California have any tax claim when the non-California property is ultimately sold (when the taxpayer is a California nonresident)?
Thanks.
