QSBS planning is a documentation discipline, not a last-minute label.

Potential Section 1202 treatment depends on statutory requirements and the facts surrounding the corporation, stock issuance, shareholder and holding period.

01

Eligibility review

Examine the issuing corporation, original-issuance history, business activities, gross-asset information and shareholder facts.

02

Ongoing monitoring

Revisit relevant facts when the company raises capital, redeems shares, changes activities or approaches a transaction.

03

Exit coordination

Prepare a clear factual record for the shareholder’s tax advisors and counsel before a potential disposition.

04

Important limitation

No website review can establish eligibility or a tax result. Section 1202 conclusions require current-law research and client-specific documentation.

Bring the facts into focus before the next decision.

A consultation begins with what has happened, what may change and which documents are available.
