Postponements are not automatic and apply only when the IRS issues a Notice or News Release listing affected areas. Please check the [IRS website](https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/tax-relief-in-disaster-situations) for updates. Postponements are available for both reverse and delayed exchanges.  **Who is Eligible for a Postponement?**  **1. Affected Taxpayer**: Defined under IRS regulations, including those living in or with a business in a disaster area, regardless of the location of the exchange properties. Relief workers assisting in the disaster area may also qualify.  **2. Other Taxpayers Facing Difficulties**: Even if not directly in the disaster area, you may qualify if: - The relinquished or replacement property is in a covered disaster area.  - Any party involved in the exchange (qualified intermediary, settlement attorney, lender, etc.) is located in the covered disaster area.  - A key party is injured, missing, or killed due to the disaster.  - Important documents or records are destroyed by the disaster.  - A lender refuses funding due to disaster-related issues.  - A title insurance company is unable to provide the necessary policy.  **Timeline Extensions** If eligible, under [Revenue Procedure 2018-58](https://www.1031corp.com/hubfs/rp-18-58.pdf), you will receive the **longer of two options**:  1. A **120-day extension** from the original deadline, or  2. The deadline date specified in the IRS's General Postponement for the disaster. Visit [our website](https://www.1031corp.com/federally-declared-disaster-extensions) for a list of the most recent disaster extensions.  Please contact your [1031 CORP. Exchange Officer](https://www.1031corp.com/contact-us) immediately if you believe your exchange may be affected. Early communication is crucial, especially if the disaster area isn’t where your properties are located.  Topics: [1031 CORP.](https://www.1031corp.com/exchanging-thoughts-blog/topic/1031-corp), [Federally Declared Disasters](https://www.1031corp.com/exchanging-thoughts-blog/topic/federally-declared-disasters), [Live](https://www.1031corp.com/exchanging-thoughts-blog/topic/live), [1031 exchange deadlines](https://www.1031corp.com/exchanging-thoughts-blog/topic/1031-exchange-deadlines) ### Subscribe to Our Blog ### Topics - [Live (62)](https://www.1031corp.com/exchanging-thoughts-blog/topic/live) - [1031 Exchange (46)](https://www.1031corp.com/exchanging-thoughts-blog/topic/1031-exchange) - [1031 CORP.
