QSBS Explained: Eligibility, Exclusions & Valuation Triggers

Discover who qualifies for QSBS and how to secure the exclusion.


QSBS can potentially exclude up to 100% of capital gains from federal taxes — but only if you qualify. Many founders and investors miss out on exclusions due to overlooked eligibility factors, valuation timing or structural missteps.

Join Armanino’s experts as they break down the fundamentals of Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) and how to secure the exclusion. You’ll walk away with a clear grasp of eligibility rules, key considerations for partnership conversions and M&As, insights on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and the valuation and timing triggers that can make or break QSBS status.

Who Should Attend

Founders, investors, executives and anyone involved in equity planning or tax strategy

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify what qualifies as QSBS and how the exclusion applies.
  • Determine who qualifies and who doesn’t through real-world examples.
  • Evaluate when to obtain a valuation and how to prepare for a QSBS review.
