Abstract:
Section 1202 of the Internal Revenue Code provides a partial exclusion for gain resulting from the sale of qualified small business stock (QSBS). Recent legislative activity and administrative guidance arguably have made Section 1202 even more attractive. This article reviews the requirements for exclusion with a focus on Section 1202’s nuances affecting QSBS held by investment funds. Copyright © 2015 Deloitte Development LLC.
