1033 Exchange Guidance

When property loss is involuntary, you may still have tax-deferral options.

What is a 1033 Exchange?

A 1033 Exchange relates to involuntary conversions—such as condemnation, eminent domain, or casualty events—where proceeds may be reinvested into qualifying replacement property to defer tax. This provision helps investors who experience an unexpected property loss due to circumstances beyond their control.

Common Scenarios

Condemnation / Eminent Domain

When government entities exercise eminent domain to acquire your property for public use, the proceeds may qualify for 1033 Exchange treatment.

Insurance Proceeds After Casualty

When property is damaged or destroyed by fire, flood, or other disasters, insurance proceeds may be eligible for tax-deferred reinvestment.
