Qualified Opportunity Zone Program
We have been at the forefront of the Qualified Opportunity Zone Program since its arrival into the marketplace.
A qualified tax opportunity
Having been involved in the Qualified Opportunity Zone Program since its arrival into the marketplace, we have a deep understanding of the complex regulations to form the funds, best methods for acquiring the real estate and how to make the necessary filing requirements.
Tax benefits galore
The Opportunity Zone programs allow taxpayers that realize certain gains to elect to defer the federal income tax on such gains by reinvesting them into Qualified Opportunity Funds (“QOFs”). QOFs must invest in businesses located in low-income, distressed areas designated as “opportunity zones.”
Investing in QOFs can provide several important tax benefits. The investment provides a deferral of tax on realized capital gains. There is a possible permanent exclusion of any additional gain realized on a sale of the QOF investments themselves if held for more than 10 years.
