Capital Gains Mitigation Strategies

Why it Matters

Selling real estate, a business, or a major investment often triggers hundreds of thousands to millions in taxes. Many owners resign themselves to writing a massive check to the IRS, reducing the wealth they worked years to build.

What Is It?

Capital Gains Mitigation strategies use IRS-approved tax provisions to reduce, defer, or eliminate taxes triggered when you sell appreciated assets such as real estate, businesses, or stock portfolios. Instead of paying 20–30% in federal and state capital gains, you can redirect those dollars into tax-advantaged structures.

 

Capital gains mitigation strategies redirect those tax dollars into IRS-approved vehicles such as:

 

  • 1031 Exchanges (real estate reinvestment, deferral)
  • 721 Improvement Exchanges (contribution to REIT operating partnerships)
  • Opportunity Zone funds (deferral + partial forgiveness + tax-free growth)
  • Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs) (tax deferral + income stream + legacy impact)
  • Structured Installment Sales / DSTs (spreading gain recognition, creating cash flow)

 

By leveraging these tools, you defer or reduce your immediate liability and keep your capital working for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is capital gains tax mitigation and how can it help me?

Capital gains tax mitigation involves using IRS-approved strategies to reduce, defer, or eliminate taxes on the sale of appreciated assets like real estate or businesses. By using strategies such as 1031 Exchanges or Opportunity Zones, you can redirect your tax dollars into tax-advantaged vehicles, keeping more of your profit to reinvest.

Yes, investing in an Opportunity Zone allows you to defer taxes on your capital gains and, in some cases, eliminate them. If you hold your investment for at least 10 years, you can enjoy tax-free growth on the funds you invest in these designated areas. It’s a powerful tool for both deferring and reducing capital gains tax.

Yes, small businesses can take advantage of capital gains tax mitigation strategies, especially if they are selling assets like real estate or equity in their business.
