This course will offer tax advisers and professionals a practical guide to the rules governing IRC Section 1202 qualified small business stock (QSBS) owned by pass-through entities. The webinar will detail the gain exclusion rules of Section 1202 and the types of business entities that qualify as QSBS companies, and discuss planning opportunities for investors to structure pass-through entities to hold QSBS stock. The panel will also offer guidance on the reporting requirements and partnership allocation rules involving QSBS stock.

Description

Section 1202 allows a taxpayer to exclude the gain from the sale of QSBS after a specified holding period. QSBS stock is any stock in a qualifying small business that was operating as a C corporation at the time of issue and throughout the holding period. While a pass-through entity is excluded from issuing QSBS shares, many investors may find advantages to holding QSBS in a private equity fund or other partnership, or an S corporation.

The rules allow gain exclusion so long as the purchaser acquired the stock at original issue. Partnerships and certain other pass-through entities may qualify for gain exclusion so long as the PTE meets the QSBS rules for acquiring the shares and continuously holds the stock for the holding period. A partner or member may only exclude gain up to the interest held in the partnership at the time of stock acquisition.

The original issue requirement provides significant restrictions on the transfer of QSBS; however, there are structuring tools, such as gratuitous transfers to grantor trusts or other disregarded entities, that provide some flexibility in achieving gain deferral. Pass-through entities may also exchange certain appreciated LLC assets for QSBS stock, provided the business operates according to 1202 requirements and meets the holding period.

Listen as our expert panel details the potential benefits and risks of a pass-through entity holding Section 1202 QSBS stock.
