A $10,000,000 Gain–Tax Free? Yes, if you have a C corp. and you hurry…

The prospect of pocketing $10 million tax-free is thrilling for plenty of business owners.  In fact, capital gains of up to $10 million from the sale of Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) can be excluded from income tax and alternative minimum tax under certain conditions.

There’s an important caveat to this attractive, potentially lucrative opportunity–to qualify for the 100% exclusion, the QSBS stock must be sold after September 27, 2010 and before January 1, 2012.

One of the considerations for this provision in the tax code was to reward and encourage entrepreneurs who bear the risk of starting new companies.  Of course, this provision will not apply to everyone.  However, for those of you that might be able to take advantage of this provision, time is of the essence.  Call your ShindelRock [2] professional  to see how you can take advantage of this unusual tax-favored opportunity.
