Illinois Capital Gains Reality
Selling appreciated corn and soybean farmland land in Illinois? Here's the tax math.
Combined federal capital gains, depreciation recapture, and Illinois's state capital gains rate of 4.95% flat (taxed as ordinary income) can hand 30 to 40% of your sale proceeds to taxes.
Illinois taxes capital gains as income at a flat 4.95%. Federal capital gains, NIIT, and depreciation recapture still apply on top, commonly 25 to 28% of the gain on long held farm ground.
A 1031 exchange into a Delaware Statutory Trust defers all of that. Your proceeds roll into a fractional ownership share of professionally managed institutional real estate. The IRS waits. You collect the structured benefits of passive ownership without the tenants, fences, or fuel bills.
