The 100% Tax-Free Exit - Kevin McGee & QSBS
•
Jon Stoddard
I wanted to know more about QSBS…
So I found someone who used it—not just read the IRS page.
Kevin McGee is an attorney who bought a craft brewing company. He used QSBS to eliminate capital gains tax on the exit.
We sat down and talked about:
- How QSBS works (and what most buyers get wrong)
- New rule changes in 2025 that make it even more powerful
- The legal landmines that can kill your QSBS eligibility
- How to set up a C-Corp to acquire a business and still qualify
- Why compliance isn’t optional—it’s everything
This might be the most overlooked tax strategy in SMB acquisitions right now.
