For Wisconsin Landowners
Defer the tax.
Keep the wisconsin land legacy.
Iron Ridge Advisors works with Wisconsin ranchers, farmers, and landowner families to defer capital gains on land sales through Delaware Statutory Trusts.
Wisconsin Capital Gains Reality
Selling appreciated dairy, corn, and cropland land in Wisconsin? Here's the tax math.
Combined federal capital gains, depreciation recapture, and Wisconsin's state capital gains rate of Up to 7.65%, with a 60% exclusion for long-term gains on farm assets can hand 30 to 40% of your sale proceeds to taxes.
Wisconsin excludes 60% of long term capital gains on farm assets (land, equipment, and livestock used in farming), and 30% on other long term gains, then taxes the rest as income at a top rate of 7.65%. Federal capital gains, NIIT, and depreciation recapture still apply on top, and can take a meaningful share of the gain depending on your bracket, depreciation history, and the type of gain.
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.
