Abstract:
Private foundations can minimize their Section 4940 tax liability by reinvesting proceeds from the sale of exempt-use property into other property that will be held for tax-exempt use. This article, first in a two-part series on the potential benefits to foundations of using Section 1031 like-kind exchanges, explains the application of Section 4940 to gains from the sale of property and describes how to structure sales to satisfy the requirements under Section 1031.Keywords: sale of property; IRC Sec. 1031; IRC Sec. 4940; private foundations; exempt-use property
