Opportunity Zones 2.0: What Every CPA Should Know

Opportunity Zone planning raises different questions from a 1031 exchange. This program helps professionals organize those questions, distinguish existing and future frameworks and identify the information needed for a client-specific analysis.

Topics we can cover

  • Opportunity Zones, Qualified Opportunity Funds and the planning framework.
  • Differences between Opportunity Zone investing and 1031 exchange planning.
  • Capital-gain situations involving real estate and business exits.
  • Timing, eligibility, holding periods and reporting considerations.
  • The transition to the next program era and planning for 2027 and beyond.
  • Fund structure, due diligence, liquidity and investment risk.
  • Separating enacted rules, implementation guidance and unresolved questions.

Practical takeaways.
Flexible delivery.

Participants leave with a framework for evaluating Opportunity Zone questions and recognizing where current guidance and client-specific analysis are essential.

Available for conference sessions, CPE/CE programs, lunch-and-learns, webinars, panels and private firm education. Scope and depth are tailored to your audience.

Programs are educational. CPE/CE credit requirements are confirmed with the hosting organization. Tax, legal and investment outcomes depend on the applicable rules and individual facts.
