Real Estate Section 1031 Exchange QI Conversion
Conversion of Qualified Subchapter S-corporation Subsidiaries (QSSS or QSub) serving as real estate tax-deferred Section 1031 exchange Qualified Intermediary (QI) to C-corporations will not cause the corporations to be treated as new or different Section 1031 QI’s. Therefore, S-Corporation subsidiary conversion to C-Corporation will not cause pending real estate tax Section 1031 exchanges to fail. (PLR 200908005).
