IIRC, you have 180 days to acquire a replacement property.
If the sale of the old property occurred in 2003, then
seeing as it is now July of 2004 and purchase of similar
asset hasn't occurred yet, isn't it too late to consider
this a 1031 exchange?

Your assessment of the economic treatment is correct though.

If it were truly a 1031 exchange, then the accommodater
should have provided the necessary figures.

And what means "purchase of similar asset didn't occur yet"?

I'm not a Starker expert, but do you still have time to do
the exchange?

Default Accounting for the deferred gain

I'm confused about treating the deferred gain between the
events of 1031 exchange. My client bought a property for 3M
and exchanged it with a properted valued 7M. How do I
present the difference 4M in tax return? Sales occured in
2003 but purchase of similar asset didn't occur yet.

My assumption is that I put aside the 4M as a part of
unrealized capital. Is this a right treatment?

Please help me out. Thank you very much.
