QSBS Holding Period

What Happens if I Sell My QSBS Stock in under 5 years?

Gains on stock sold in under five years would not be considered “eligible” for QSBS tax treatment, and the capital gains will be taxed at the individuals capital gains rate.  However, an alternative is to roll the sale proceeds into another company qualifying for QSBS, electing section 1045.

About QSBS Expert

QSBS Expert was founded by a group of entrepreneurs, investors, accountants and lawyers who came together when trying to navigate a QSBS situation of their own. We quickly realized that the regulations left a lot of open questions and the publicly available information was confusing to sift through…so we thought that others may also benefit from having a “go to” resource for all things QSBS.
