A bipartisan history of expansion
Three decades of making QSBS more powerful.
Since 1993, both parties in Congress have widened the Section 1202 benefit, turning a once-modest incentive into a huge economic opportunity. Today, the benefit is still massively underutilized and misunderstood.
- 1993
The genesis
Section 1202 is born: a 50% exclusion after a 5-year hold, though AMT left true savings near 6%.
- 2009
Stimulus boost
The Recovery Act temporarily raises the exclusion to 75% to spur venture investing.
- 2010
The 100% milestone
The Small Business Jobs Act lifts the exclusion to 100% and drops the AMT preference.
- 2015
Made permanent
The PATH Act locks in the 100% tax-free exclusion for good.
- 2017
Corporate synergy
The TCJA cuts the corporate rate to 21%, making the required C-corp structure far more appealing.
- 2025
Modernized expansion
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act delivers the biggest overhaul yet, effective July 4, 2025.
- Tiered holds: 50% / 75% / 100%
- Gain cap: $10M to $15M
- Asset threshold: $50M to $75M
