Ok.  The timber gets cut under a contract to buy it, so I guess that means it is sold as real estate, right.

Who do you use as the 1031 faciltator?

The sale of standing timber is considered as real estate see WAC 458-61A-113  since it is subject to the real estate excise tax. I have done several of these types of 1031s  and never questioned as long as timber is still in the ground when sold.

Here is the line from the IRS information website that I think clearly denies the use of a 1031 Exchange to a the situation where the owner of real property with timber on it sells the timber and then wants to use the proceeds from the timber sale to buy more real estate.  The trees are personal property, are they not?

“Real property and personal property can both qualify as exchange properties under Section 1031; but real property can never be like-kind to personal property.”
