The Federation of Exchange Accommodators (FEA) has received confirmation that the New Hampshire Governor John Lynch has signed SB 483 into law. According to the FEA:
The new law amends prior law, which deprived taxpayers of Section 1031 tax deferral on a state level if they purchased replacement property in the name of a new entity, notwithstanding that the acquiring entity was a disregarded entity. The typical situation would be that in which a taxpayer

Accruit is committed to closely monitoring the marketplace for factors that may have a potential impact on our clients and partners.

Education has always been a key component of the like-kind exchange (LKE) industry and frankly, it has always been one of the more enjoyable parts of my job. Despite the fact that the 1031 exchange business focuses on a very narrow part of the tax code, there will always be significant challenges associated with anything that involves the IRS. So for this month's 1031 Tips, I'm stepping back and reexamining the most basic type of 1031 exchange, the simultaneous LKE, ...

These are challenging times for most independent oil and gas producers. Traditional competitive concerns are complicated by legislative and regulatory uncertainty, while difficult economic conditions have tightened access to operating capital for some companies.
