Dr. Friday Tax Tips - One Minute Moment

Qualified Small Business Stock: A Hidden Tax Break

0:00 01:00

Dr. Friday highlights a little-known opportunity for investors who hold qualified small business stock for five years or more—potentially eliminating capital gains tax.

Transcript

G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment.

This is a moment I hear very rarely talked about—the qualified small business stock. It is an enhancement under the current rules: individuals who acquire qualified small business stock after September 27, 2010, and sell over five years later can deduct 100% of their capital gains from the sale.

I mean, that seems pretty simple—up to, I think, $10 million, which won’t be a problem for most of us. This is a small break, and it’s something not a lot of people take advantage of.

You have to be a C corporation, set it up properly, and move forward doing it right. Got questions? 367-0819.

You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-in Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.
