For federal tax purposes Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") § 1202 allows individuals an income exclusion for gains derived from the sale of qualified small business stock ("QSBS"). Because Massachusetts generally follows the IRC as in effect in 2005 for personal income tax purposes, Massachusetts allows an income exclusion for 50% of such gains.
