Qualified Opportunity Zones Update by Eide Bailly

The Opportunity Zone Incentives Program allows taxpayers to defer and reduce capital gains taxes by reinvesting in a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF). Potential tax benefits for investing into a QOF include the deferral and partial exclusion of capital gains and the permanent exclusion from taxable income of any appreciation if the investment is held for at least 10 years. Join us for an update on the Opportunity Zone Incentives Program, including a discussion of what we are seeing in the marketplace and year-end planning considerations.

Learning Objectives:

• Review the background of the QOZ program and potential tax incentives
• Identify what we are seeing in the marketplace
• Discuss year-end planning considerations
• Identify ways to optimize the tax benefits when exiting a QOF
