Need accountant/tax preparer in Chicago area
I reside in the western suburbs of Chicago (Geneva, IL). I am in need of an accountant/tax preparer (preferably specializing in real estate). I am selling an over seas property and have realized that according to the irs website the tax code will not allow a 1031 exchange with non US properties. Does anyone have any experience with this? I am trying to figure out how to minimize our capital gains tax on the profit. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you. Julieanne
