Description

As originally enacted, the Qualified Opportunity Fund (“QOF”) arrangement was temporary and could be utilized only to defer gains that were realized in 2026 and prior years.  The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBB”), however, makes permanent QOFs as a mechanism for potentially obtaining deferral and exclusion of realized gains for federal income tax purposes.  Thus, in many ways, the OBBB expands the availability of the QOF arrangement for taxpayers.  In certain other ways, however, the QBBB restricts the availability of the QOF arrangement, and the interplay between the original QOF program and the OBBB version of that program currently leaves many unanswered questions.  The presentation summarizes the important changes made to the QOF program under the OBBB and the open issues where further guidance is needed.
