jainen Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 A rental house with a basis of $100,000 was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. Insurance reimbursement was $200,000. The owner spent $50,000 in repairs and then set up a 1031 exchange for a new house with FMV of $300,000. Does the deferred gain from insurance decrease basis in either the old or new property? Quote
