Michigan Law Firm - Warner Norcross + Judd LLP

As described in our recent eAlert available <a href="~/Publications/Federal-Tax-Update-COVID-19-Delay-for-Payment-(1)" target="_parent" rel="noopener">here</a>, the IRS, in Notice 2020-23, provides relief to any person performing certain “Specified Time-Sensitive Actions” as described in IRS Revenue Procedure 2018-58. That Revenue Procedure is available <a href="~/getmedia/c993641f-debd-43e2-98d6-c060c4c9ae62/Tax-eAlert-PDF-IRS-Revenue-Procedure-2018-58.pdf.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>. In general, these Specified Time-Sensitive Actions include tax elections and other tasks that are due between April 1, 2020, and July 15, 2020. Notice 2020-23 generally postpones the due date of these actions until July 15, 2020.

Internal Revenue Code Sec. 1031 and the accompanying Treasury Regulations include special rules for “deferred like-kind exchanges.” In general, these rules require that replacement property be identified within 45 days after the closing of the sale of the relinquished property, and the replacement property must be purchased within 180 days after the sale of the relinquished property. Revenue Procedure 2018-58 provides that the identification and purchase of replacement property are Specified Time-Sensitive Actions and contains special rules for these transactions. The special rules include additional time extensions for like-kind exchanges, but it is unclear at this time whether the additional relief is applicable or how the deadlines would be calculated under the circumstances.
