What is QSBS?
Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS), allows you to exclude up to 100% of capital gains from federal and state taxes when you sell shares held for at least 5 years. This powerful tax benefit under IRS Section 1202 applies to qualifying C-Corporation shares, potentially saving millions in taxes when you sell stock in your business.
