Governing Mathematical Formula:
10-Year QOZ Benefit = Permanent Zero Capital Gains Tax on All Fund Appreciation

Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation

1
180-Day Rollover Deferral

Eligible taxpayers can defer capital gains from stocks, crypto, or businesses by rolling the gain into a Qualified Opportunity Fund within 180 days.

2
The 10-Year Permanent Step-Up to Fair Market Value

If the QOF investment is held for at least 10 years, the investor's tax basis steps up to 100% of Fair Market Value: ZERO federal or state capital gains tax is owed on all post-acquisition appreciation.

3
Compound Wealth Creation

A $500,000 investment compounding at 10% for 10 years grows to $1,296,871. The $796,871 profit is 100% tax-free, saving $189,655 in cash taxes.
