Understanding Boot

Cash Boot: Any cash or non-like-kind property received in the exchange. This is immediately taxable.

Mortgage Boot: Occurs when the debt on your replacement property is less than the debt on your relinquished property. The difference is treated as boot and is taxable.

Total Boot: The sum of cash boot and mortgage boot. This amount is subject to capital gains tax and potentially the Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT).

Note: Tax rates vary based on your income, holding period, and other factors. The estimated tax shown is illustrative only.
