    Final regulations provide flexibility to the taxpayer as to how to treat these. Now a taxpayer can invest an 1231 gain without the need to wait until the year end to offset the gain with 1231 losses.

    This was "undone" in the Final Regulations. Now an investor can defer gains from a GROSS 1231 gain. They also no longer need to wait until the end of the tax year to make an investment. They now have the same option with the first day of the 180-day investment period as other capital gains.

    No netting necessary.
