Cory recently sold his qualified small business stock for $90,000 after holding it for 10 years. His basis in the stock is $40,000. Applying the rules as if the stock were acquired in 2020 and assuming his marginal tax rate is 32 percent, how much tax will he owe on the sale?
Solution:
As per Sec 1202 of Internal Revenue Code allows investors to take exemption of 100% of capital gains on qualified small business stock (QSBS) held for more than 5 years is excluded.
THIS Exemption on capital gains has the limit of $10 million or 10 times the adjusted basis of stock which ever is greater the capital gains above the limit are taxable
sale proceeds of capital stock | $90,000 |
basis for the stock | $40,000 |
capital gains for the stock |
$50,000 |
as the capital gain below the limit of $10 million ,above capital gain Qualifies for the exemption u/s 1202
so the taxable payable on sale will be $0
Note: if you happy with this answer give a thumsup.
