This course will offer tax advisers and professionals an exploration of IRC Section 1202 qualified small business stock (QSBS). The webinar will detail the gain exclusion rules of Section 1202 and will describe the types of business entities that are eligible QSBS companies. The panel will also discuss the tax deferral provisions contained in Section 1045 for rollovers in qualified small business stocks, and review specific cases and examples relative to Section 1202 stock. Finally, the webinar will offer guidance on the reporting requirements and planning opportunities related to QSBS.

Description

The Internal Revenue Code provides significant tax benefits for QSBS buyers and owners. Owners of such stock, as defined by Section 1202, can exclude up to 100% of eligible realized gain upon sale of the QSBS after meeting the five-year holding period. For investors funding startup companies, the 1202 exclusion can provide significant tax savings.

In addition to the gain exclusion found in 1202, there are other tax incentives attached to small business stock ownership. Section 1045 allows taxpayers nonrecognition treatment for gain on any sale of QSBS when the proceeds are rolled over into another QSBS. The rollover provision can benefit business owners who want to sell their company and start a new business. By meeting the rules found in 1045, a business owner can defer tax on the gain arising from the sale of the existing business.

Listen as our expert panel details the rules, benefits, reporting mechanics, and planning opportunities of Section 1202 QSBS.
