Common questions from South Dakota investors

How does a 1031 exchange work in South Dakota?
A 1031 exchange in South Dakota 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. South Dakota has no state income tax — 1031 exchanges defer 100% of capital gains at the state level.
Do I need a qualified intermediary in South Dakota?
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.

Any property held for investment or business use qualifies, including rental properties, farmland, and commercial real estate. 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 South Dakota.
