It can potentially give you a 100% exemption on federal capital gains taxes, up to $15 million or 10 times your original investment amount, whichever is greater.<\/p>\n<p>But to fully benefit from QSBS tax relief, you\u2019ll need to have set your company up as a C corporation and held the stock for at least five years before it\u2019s sold. Partial exclusions are as follows*:<\/p>\n<p><strong>3 years \u2192 50% exclusion <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>4 years \u2192 75% exclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>*These updated QSBS rules generally apply to stock issued after July 4, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Only C corporations can issue QSBS, but a company can convert from another structure (such as an LLC or an S corporation) to a C corporation and issue QSBS (as long as the other criteria are met).<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you were issued stock before conversion to a C corporation, you could still benefit from QSBS on that. The gains on that stock before the conversion won\u2019t qualify for QSBS. But gains on the stock after the conversion can qualify for QSBS (provided the company meets the other requirements).<\/p>\n<p>You can find the QSBS rules in <a href=\"https:\/\/uscode.house.gov\/view.xhtml?path=\/prelim@title26\/subtitleA\/chapter1\/subchapterP\/part1&amp;edition=prelim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Section 1202 of the Internal Revenue Code<\/a>.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"<h2>Can employees get QSBS as part of their compensation?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, employees can receive QSBS as part of their compensation (for example, if you exercise stock options offered to you by your employer).<\/p>\n<p>Why is it beneficial? Well, the tax savings with QSBS can be huge as long as the qualification criteria is met (see \u2018How do employees qualify for QSBS?\u2019 below).
