If you sell a property, capital gains tax applies based on each partner’s ownership share, and a standard 1031 exchange won’t work if proceeds are split, as the exchange requires continuity of ownership in a like-kind investment.One strategy is a drop-and-swap, where the LLC distributes the property to partners as tenants-in-common (TIC) before the sale, allowing each to complete a separate 1031 exchange.
