Sample Questions

Question 1
In a 1031 exchange, the term 'boot' refers to:
Additional like-kind real property received beyond the relinquished property
Non-like-kind property, cash, or net debt relief received in the exchange
The qualified intermediary's fee for facilitating the exchange
Excess equity carried forward into the replacement property
Question 2
A taxpayer relinquishes a property with a $500,000 mortgage and acquires replacement property encumbered by only a $400,000 mortgage. The $100,000 difference is best described as:
Cash boot received by the taxpayer
Mortgage boot (net debt relief) treated as boot
A non-taxable reduction in exchange value
An exchange expense that offsets realized gain
Question 3
The amount of gain recognized in a partially tax-deferred 1031 exchange equals:
The total realized gain on the relinquished property
The lesser of the boot received or the total realized gain
The greater of the boot received or the total realized gain
Zero, because all gain is always deferred
Question 4
Which of the following is the clearest example of 'cash boot' in a 1031 exchange?
Assuming a larger mortgage on the replacement property
Receiving non-like-kind personal property at closing
Receiving cash proceeds that are disbursed to the taxpayer rather than reinvested
Paying qualified intermediary fees from exchange proceeds
Question 5
