Our basis is negative. So unless we do it right, it will be very very painful.\nAppreciate any advise or loop holes you can point out.\n(B) If I were to change a rental residential property to primary residence (by moving in that home), would same rule as residential capital gains apply (ie. no gains tax up to 500K gain....etc.)? \n\nThanks!","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Kiran","url":""}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/taxes\/personal-taxes\/1031-exchange-rules\/#Comment2","dateCreated":"2020-08-09 07:58:07","description":"Hi, Logan--\r\nI have a second home (it is for my personal use only--not rented out) that I would like to sell and replace with another one.

The property should be a rental property for at least 24 months after acquisition.\r\n\r\n(3) No, once the property becomes personal use, it is no longer under the 1031 rules but is subject to the <a href=\"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/home-sale-gain-exclusion\/\"><b>Section 121 home sale gain exclusion rules<\/b><\/a>.\r\n\r\n(4) Yes, if the replacement property is passed to heirs, the basis is stepped up, and the California clawback is eliminated.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Logan Allec, CPA","url":"https:\/\/loganallec.com\/"}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/taxes\/personal-taxes\/1031-exchange-rules\/#Comment6","dateCreated":"2020-01-19 20:42:53","description":"Your information and explination of this process is great and very useful.  A question though, if the exchange is like-and-kind; a single family residence being rented for income in California into a single family house in Nevada, does the replacement property have to be rented full time to qualify. Can it be say a vacation rental property? What if at some time in the future you wish to make the replacement property your primary residence? Can you keep it under the 1031 capital gains protection indefinitely by filing the proper forms with the CA FTB? Finally, if the replacement property is passed to heirs in an estate do they get to take advantage of the cost basis bump up, thus negating the CA claw back penalty?
