Re: Capital Gains/Losses question
I have accumulated capital losses over a few years.
I am doing a 1031 exchange. If the sales proceeds are more than what I invest in the replacement property then can the excess proceeds be set off against my accumulated capital losses from prior years and not have to pay any capital gains taxes??
As an example if the difference between net sales proceeds of the sale and what I invest in the new property is say $50,000, can I offset this 50k against accumulated losses from prior years and not have to pay any capital gains taxes?
Your input would be highly appreciated.
