Gain deferred under § 1031 $30,000   $30,000

(iv) C’s basis in the replacement residential property is the fair market value of the replacement residential property at the time of the exchange ($240,000). C’s basis in the replacement business property is $80,000, which is equal to C’s basis in the relinquished business property ($40,000), increased by the gain excluded under § 121 ($50,000), and reduced by the cash ($10,000) received. See section 4.03 of this revenue procedure.

Example 5. (i) The facts are the same as in Example 3 except that the total fair market value of the replacement properties is $540,000. The fair market value of the replacement residence is $360,000, the fair market value of the replacement business property is $180,000, and C realizes gain of $360,000 on the exchange.

(ii) Under § 121, C may exclude the gain of $220,000 allocable to the residential portion of the house (2/3 of $540,000 amount realized, or $360,000, minus 2/3 of $210,000 basis, or $140,000).

(iii) The remaining gain of $140,000 (1/3 of $540,000 amount realized, or $180,000, minus $40,000 adjusted basis) is allocable to the business portion of the house. Under section 4.02(1) of this revenue procedure, C excludes the gain before applying the nonrecognition rules of § 1031. Under § 1.121-1(e), C may exclude $30,000 of the gain allocable to the business portion, at which point C will have excluded the maximum limitation amount of $250,000. C may defer the remaining gain of $110,000 ($140,000 realized gain minus the $30,000 gain excluded under § 121), including the $30,000 gain attributable to depreciation, under § 1031.

(iv) C’s basis in the replacement residential property is the fair market value of the replacement residential property at the time of the exchange ($360,000). C’s basis in the replacement business property is $70,000, which is equal to C’s basis in the relinquished business property ($40,000), increased by the amount of the gain excluded under § 121 ($30,000). See section 4.03 of this revenue procedure.

Example 6. (i) The facts are the same as in Example 3 except that the total fair market value of the replacement properties is $750,000. The fair market value of the replacement residence is $500,000, the fair market value of the replacement business property is $250,000, and C realizes gain of $570,000 on the exchange.

(ii) The gain allocable to the residential portion is $360,000 (2/3 of $750,000 amount realized, or $500,000, minus 2/3 of $210,000 basis, or $140,000). C may exclude gain of $250,000 from gross income under § 121. C must include in income the gain of $110,000 allocable to the residential portion that exceeds the § 121(b) exclusion limitation amount.
