What is useful is how often does the party desk in huge numbers . 1031- sales is true but not really relevant . EXPERIENCE with scale , type . History of requests audits etc .

You and I and Leon and I discussed the advantages and disadvantages of a gallery versus a professional exchange agent. A gallery is a more conservative choice for sales tax purposes, but a less conservative choice for 1031 purposes. An exchange agent is more conservative for 1031 purposes, but less conservative for sales tax purposes. From: Jeffrey E.

If you recall I was quite clear about not liking the idea and suggested we use a gallery , other than Gagosian. But you told Leon that they " had done this many times before ".

The exchange agent was responsible for collecting sales tax on the sale of the Braque to the trust, so they need to tell the auditors whether or not they collected the tax, to which the answer is no, they did not. EFTA01036493 I was only asking because if you had paid the tax, you might want the exchange agent to know that. Best, Heather From: jeffrey E.

That was my sense from our conversation last week, but I want to be certain before I speak with the lawyers. I'm in the office if you'd like to discuss this.
