1031 exchanges were created by the IRS to encourage investment. In a 1031, a taxpayer sells a piece of property and reinvests all of the net proceeds from the sale of that property into another piece of like-kind property. That allows them to defer all the taxes on the sale of that initial property, and continue to build their wealth instead of writing a big check to the IRS on tax day.
