How Opportunity Zone Investing Works

Qualified Opportunity Zones allow investors to reinvest all or a portion of eligible capital gains from appreciated assets into a Qualified Opportunity Fund. Investors may defer tax on the reinvested gain and, after meeting applicable requirements, potentially receive favorable federal tax treatment on qualifying appreciation.

Realize → Reinvest → Defer → Grow

01

Realize

Generate an eligible capital gain from the sale of real estate, stocks, a business or another appreciated asset.
02

Reinvest

Invest all or a portion of the eligible gain—not the full sale proceeds—into a Qualified Opportunity Fund within the applicable investment period.
03

Defer

Postpone tax on the reinvested gain according to applicable Opportunity Zone rules.
04

Grow

Hold the investment for at least 10 years to potentially receive favorable federal tax treatment on qualifying appreciation.

Opportunity Zones 2.0

A permanent program. A more predictable framework.

Under current federal tax law, beginning in 2027 Opportunity Zones become a permanent part of the tax code with rolling five-year deferral periods, enhanced benefits for qualifying rural investments and new zone designations every 10 years. Unlike a 1031 exchange, investors generally need to reinvest only the eligible gain—not the full sale proceeds. The program's principal 10-year benefit remains.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of capital gains can be invested in an Opportunity Zone?

Eligible capital gains may come from appreciated assets including stocks, businesses and real estate. The nature of the gain and timing of the investment must satisfy applicable Opportunity Zone requirements.

Do I have to reinvest all of the proceeds from a sale?

No. Unlike a 1031 exchange, an Opportunity Zone investment generally requires reinvestment of the eligible capital gain rather than the entire sale proceeds.

Investors may also choose to reinvest only a portion of an eligible gain.

How long do I have to invest a capital gain into a Qualified Opportunity Fund?

Generally, eligible capital gains must be invested into a Qualified Opportunity Fund within 180 days. An extended timeline may apply to gains recognized through partnerships and other entities.

What is the difference between an Opportunity Zone and a 1031 exchange?

A 1031 exchange generally allows an investor to exchange qualifying investment real estate for other qualifying real estate while deferring eligible taxes.

Opportunity Zones can accept qualifying capital gains from a broader range of assets, and only the eligible gain needs to be reinvested. Opportunity Zones may also provide favorable federal tax treatment on qualifying new appreciation after applicable holding requirements are satisfied.

What happens to the tax on my original capital gain?

The original capital gain is generally deferred rather than eliminated.

Under Opportunity Zones 1.0, deferred gains generally must be recognized no later than December 31, 2026. For qualifying investments beginning in 2027, Opportunity Zones 2.0 generally provides a rolling five-year deferral period.

Why is the 10-year holding period important?

The program's principal long-term tax benefit generally becomes available after a qualifying Opportunity Zone investment has been held for at least 10 years.

Subject to applicable requirements, qualifying appreciation generated by the Opportunity Zone investment may then receive favorable federal capital gains tax treatment.

How might investors prepare for the deferred tax becoming due?

Depending on the investment and its performance, a sponsor may refinance a stabilized property and distribute available proceeds that investors could use toward their tax liability.

An independent valuation during development may also reflect factors such as construction status, marketability and illiquidity that affect the investment's then-current value and potentially the amount of gain recognized. Refinancing proceeds, valuations and tax outcomes are not guaranteed.

What are the risks of Opportunity Zone investing?

Opportunity Zone investments are generally long-term and illiquid. Depending on the investment, risks may include development, construction, financing, market, operating and exit risk.

The tax benefits also depend on satisfying applicable requirements. Investors should evaluate the underlying investment independently of its potential tax advantages.

Does Peachtree provide tax advice?

No. Peachtree provides information about Opportunity Zone investments and tax-efficient investment structures but does not provide individual tax or legal advice. Investors should consult their own tax, legal and financial advisors regarding their circumstances.

Summary of Important Risks and Tax Considerations
General Investment and Private Placement Risks

Private real estate and alternative investment strategies are speculative, illiquid and involve a high degree of risk, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that any investment objective, distribution target, capital preservation goal or tax result will be achieved. This summary is not complete and should be read together with the applicable offering documents, subscription materials and governing agreements.

  • Interests are generally not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or listed on any exchange; no public market is expected to develop.
  • Investors may have limited liquidity and significant restrictions on transfer, redemption or resale.
  • Performance may be affected by real estate market conditions, interest rates, financing availability, leverage, tenant or borrower credit, operating costs, property values and sponsor execution.
  • Fees, expenses, selling commissions, broker-dealer compensation and sponsor affiliates may create conflicts of interest and reduce investor returns.
  • Past performance, targets, projections and examples are not guarantees of future results.
DST and 1031 Exchange Considerations
  • A DST may be structured to qualify as replacement property for Section 1031 purposes, but tax treatment depends on transaction structure and each investor’s facts.
  • Investors must satisfy strict exchange requirements, including identification and exchange deadlines, use of a qualified intermediary and avoidance of actual or constructive receipt of proceeds.
  • Debt replacement, cash boot, property qualification and timing issues may cause partial or full gain recognition, including depreciation recapture.
  • DST investors generally have no direct management control and limited ability to influence financing, leasing, refinancing, sale timing or property-level decisions.
  • A future step-up in basis depends on current estate tax rules and each client’s estate plan; tax law may change.
Qualified Opportunity Zone Considerations
  • QOZ benefits require eligible gain, timely investment, proper election and ongoing compliance by the investor, QOF, QROF and/or QOZ business.
  • Pre-2027 and post-2026 QOZ rules differ; rural QROF benefits, zone designations and effective dates should be reviewed with tax counsel.
  • Tax benefits may be reduced or lost if holding-period requirements are not satisfied or if the fund fails to maintain QOF/QROF or QOZ property requirements.
QOZ Development and Tax Risks
  • Development and redevelopment strategies involve entitlement, zoning, permitting, construction, environmental, leasing, valuation, financing, operating and exit risks.
  • Tax-free appreciation and depreciation recapture treatment require satisfaction of statutory and regulatory requirements and may depend on the sale structure.
  • Investors may owe tax on deferred gain before receiving liquidity from the investment.
  • Tax reporting obligations may include Form 8949, Form 8997 and other filings; penalties or inclusion events can arise if requirements are not met.
Roth Conversion and Retirement Account Considerations
  • Roth conversions generally create taxable income in the conversion year and may affect marginal tax rates, estimated taxes, state taxes, Medicare premiums, credits and deductions.
  • Tax offsets from real estate depreciation, deductions or losses are not guaranteed and may be limited by passive activity, at-risk, basis, UBTI/UBIT, plan, custodian or other rules.
  • Private real estate investments held by IRAs require an appropriate custodian and careful compliance with prohibited transaction, valuation, liquidity and reporting requirements.
  • Roth conversion planning should be coordinated with RMD timing, estate planning, beneficiary designations and the client’s liquidity needed to pay taxes from outside assets.
