In this episode of Law Talk with the Flock, Jeana Goosmann, CEO, Founding and Practicing Attorney, and Chris Chochon, Associate, explore how eligible business owners and investors may exclude up to 100% of the capital gains from the sale of qualified small business stock.

Learn how Internal Revenue Code Section 1202 and the Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) exclusion can serve as a powerful tax-planning tool for founders, early investors, and their advisors. Jeana and Chris discuss key eligibility requirements, common pitfalls that can jeopardize the exclusion, practical planning strategies, and a real-world example demonstrating how a $300,000 investment could generate more than $500,000 in federal tax savings.

Whether you are a business founder, startup investor, venture capitalist, or tax professional, this episode offers valuable insights for planning a potentially tax-free business exit in 2026 and beyond.
