The two clocks
45 days to identify, 180 days to close
For a deferred exchange, the IRS sets two deadlines that run from the day you transfer the property you are selling.
45 days: identify
Name your replacement property in writing within 45 days of transferring the property you gave up. The notice goes to your qualified intermediary or another permitted party, not to your agent.
180 days: receive
You must receive the replacement property by the earlier of 180 days after the transfer or your tax return due date, including extensions.
Your team
Qualified intermediary, CPA, and agent
A qualified intermediary (QI) is the neutral party who handles the exchange paperwork and holds the sale proceeds.
Qualified intermediary
Choose your QI before closing on the property you are selling. The IRS treats related parties and your agents as disqualified, so the QI needs to be an independent company.
CPA
Your CPA confirms the property qualifies and how the exchange is reported. Bring them in before you list.
Mariah, CCIM
