The other option is if you first obtain a certificate of non-withholding that exempts you from FIRPTA withholding as you complete a regular deferred 1031 exchange.Even if you cannot do a simultaneous exchange and fail to get a withholding certificate in time you can still complete the 1031 exchange and report a sale with a non-recognition of gain on your next tax filing.But if you mean that you recently closed on a sale then you're opportunity to complete a 1031 exchange is over.

This often means you do a lot of hard work and get very little recognition.

It helps build recognition.

For every horrible case you hear of, there are hundreds of peaceful, friendly pits out there that aren't getting recognition.
