Can You Combine Opportunity Zones and New Market Tax Credits?
Opportunity Zones and New Market Tax Credits both provide tax benefits to taxpayers who invest directly into low-income neighborhoods that historically have been overlooked when it comes to new investment capital.
Can Medical Equipment Be Used as Improvement in Opportunity Zones?
Plenty has been written about the Opportunity Zone from the point of view of Qualified Opportunity Business Zone Property, or QOBZP. However, when it comes to defining “property,” the main focus tends to be “real estate.” As such, many of the examples pertaining to assets and substantial improvement involving Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs) and their investments via Qualified Opportunity Funds (QOFs) range from ground-up construction to renovation or rehabilitation.
Are Opportunity Zone Investments Subject to Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)?
If there’s one thing that’s for certain, you can’t escape taxes. To make sure individuals don’t take advantage of too many tax loopholes and at least pay a minimum amount of tax, the U.S. government placed a floor on the percentage of taxes that a taxpayer must pay to the government, known as the alternative minimum tax, or AMT.
Can an Opportunity Zone Flip Houses?
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act created Qualified Opportunity Zones in 2017. The goal of this legislation was and is to encourage investment in economically distressed areas. It does this by incentivizing taxpayers to direct their capital gains (profits from the sale of qualified assets) into new investments in specific areas. The zones are designated census tracts identified as low-income and in need of more significant economic investments. The Treasury Department has recognized over 9,000 census tracts among those nominated by each state and most U.S. territories.
Can I Pull Equity from an Opportunity Zone?
Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs) were created as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) in 2017. This legislation aimed to increase investment in economically disadvantaged areas of the country by encouraging investors to reinvest their capital gains from other successful ventures.
Can a Partner of an LLC Defer Capital Gains Taxes on QOZs?
Much of what is written about the Opportunity Zone program involves investors with capital gains from the sale of capital assets. Those gains can be invested in Qualified Opportunity Funds (QOFs) which, in turn, place those resources into one of 8,000 Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs). The investors can then benefit from deferred taxes on those capital gains.
