Section 1202 of the IRS code can potentially save eligible business owners millions of dollars in taxes. However, it is an underutilized section as few business owners know how to successfully implement this strategy.

In this episode, Roby Kotcamp and Kyle Malmstrom explain what Section 1202 entails, the primary eligibility criteria for QSBS (qualified small business stock) transactions, and the major tax benefits involved in the process.

Roby and Kyle discuss:

  • Three types of business owners that can benefit most from QSBS transactions
  • Important dates that affect the extent of your tax exemption
  • How to minimize your federal and state income tax as well as your estate tax
  • Why you should plan at least a year in advance for QSBS transactions
  • And more

About Our Guest:

Doug Pate co-founded ISLE with his best friend, Marc Miller. Doug and Marc share a lifelong passion for the ocean and the sports that surround it. In their first four years of business, they sold surfboards online. At the time, there was no direct-to-consumer surfboard company, and by default, they became the industry’s pioneers. In 2008, they shifted their focus from surfboards to stand up paddle boards as a way to help more people get on the water across the country.
