What’s the change?

Section 138150 would amend IRC Section 1202 (QSBS) by no longer allowing a 100% capital gains exemption for any taxpayers if:
  1. The Adjusted Gross Income of such taxpayer equals or exceeds $400,000 – or
  2. Such taxpayer is a trust or estate

 

What does this mean?

The newly excluded taxpayers may still be able to claim a 50% exemption per Section 1202(a)(1). If passed, these changes would apply to sales and exchanges or or after September 13, 2021. These tax changes could have a significant impact on entrepreneurs and certain investors in the types of innovative companies driving tomorrow’s economy. 

We are putting together a coalition to stay abreast of developments in the Build Back Better Act and it’s impact on IRC Section 1202 – Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS).
