Successful startup founders and investors can save millions in taxes by leveraging the Qualified Small Business Stock exclusion. Founders and investors take extraordinary risks building and investing in startup companies. Many entrepreneurs, angels, and VCs reap nice windfalls should the startup find success. But large tax bills follow large pay days. Poor tax planning can result in the government taking up to half the payout! Smart founders and investors work to take advantage of Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) to shelter much of the income from taxes. This is why many investors now ask founders to affirm eligibility for QSBS. Many third-party service providers provide QSBS attestation letters for $2,000 to $5,000 for a basic analysis -- complex situations can cost $10,000 to $25,000. Our newly released Due Diligence training course and toolkit includes a QSBS self-attestation form that can save founders from spending the $2,000 to $5,000 third-party fee.
