Keeper Tax is a software platform that helps people with 1099 income automatically find tax write-offs among their purchases.
Please note, it is important to assess the company’s business activities against Section 1202(e)(3) which specifies certain industries that are not considered a “qualified trade or business.”
Entity Type
Per Section 1202, entities need to be a C Corporation or equivalent in order to issue QSBS. Refer here for further details.
Exemption Level
Any individual owning stock purchased or received directly from the company could potentially be eligible for the QSBS capital gains tax exclusion or the Section 1045 gain rollover if the QSBS standards as per IRC Section 1202 were met at the time of issuance.
In order to assess whether stock issued previously may qualify, the Company would also have to have not taken actions that invalidate QSBS status such as a certain level of redemptions, and would have to satisfy the active business requirement.
