Exchange Timeline Tracker

Track the 45-day identification and 180-day closing deadlines with visual countdown.

IRS Deadline Compliance

A 1031 exchange has two hard IRS deadlines that cannot be extended. You must identify replacement properties within 45 calendar days of selling the relinquished property, and you must close on the replacement within 180 calendar days. Miss either deadline and the entire exchange is disqualified — you owe full taxes.

  • 45-day identification window: countdown from your exchange start date with days remaining
  • 180-day closing deadline: must close on the replacement property by this date
  • Color-coded urgency: green when you have time, yellow when it is getting close, red when overdue
  • Visual horizontal timeline with today marker and key milestone dates

Plan Your Exchange Timeline

Set your exchange start date and instantly see both deadline dates calculated. The timeline chart shows where you stand today relative to each milestone. Use this to coordinate with your qualified intermediary, real estate agent, and title company.

  • Exchange start date drives both the 45-day and 180-day calculations automatically
  • Days remaining display updates in real time relative to today
  • Helps you avoid the most common 1031 exchange mistake: running out of time
  • Timeline only appears when an exchange start date is set — otherwise hidden
