Federal Law provides for additional incentive to individuals to invest in small businesses. Up to 75 percent of the gains from the sale of certain small business stock is tax exempt. This increased exemption is applicable only in the case of stock acquired between February 17, 2009 and January 1, 2011, and only in small businesses that qualify.
