Opportunity Zones

 

Are you aware of the three potential tax benefits that are available?

Opportunity zones were established under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) IRC Section 1400Z-1 and 1400Z-2. They encouraged private investment in distressed communities throughout the United States and allow taxpayers to defer capital gains incurred from a sale or exchange of an asset to an unrelated third party by investing the gains in a Qualified Opportunity Fund (“QOF”). This video provides a preliminary examination of opportunity zones, discusses tax benefits from investing in opportunity zones, and reviews what a qualified opportunity fund entails.
