Alaska 1031 Exchange FAQ

Common questions from Alaska investors

How does a 1031 exchange work in Alaska?
A 1031 exchange in Alaska follows the same IRS rules as anywhere in the U.S. You sell an investment property, a qualified intermediary holds the proceeds, you identify replacement properties within 45 days, and close within 180 days. Alaska has no state income tax — meaning 1031 exchanges here defer 100% of your capital gains at the state level.
Do I need a qualified intermediary in Alaska?
Yes. IRS rules require a qualified intermediary (QI) to facilitate your 1031 exchange. The QI holds your sale proceeds and ensures compliance with all deadlines. You cannot touch the funds yourself, or the exchange is disqualified. Talk to a certified QI today.
What properties qualify for a 1031 exchange in Alaska?
Any property held for investment or business use qualifies, including commercial properties, multi-family housing, and land. Primary residences and fix-and-flip properties do not qualify. Your replacement property can be in any U.S. state — you're not limited to Alaska.
Can I exchange my Alaska property for one in another state?
Absolutely. 1031 exchanges allow you to sell in Alaska and buy replacement property anywhere in the United States. Many investors use this to diversify into different markets or move into passive investments like DSTs.
