For investors

Defer today's gain, and make tomorrow's growth tax-free.

Roll a realized capital gain into a Qualified Opportunity Zone fund within the deadline. The original gain is deferred, and if you hold ten years, the new growth comes out completely tax-free.

Watch the quick version

See how it works through one simple example.

Is this you?

You just realized a large capital gain you want to reinvest.
There is a tight window to roll the gain in. Deduckt tracks the deadline.

Here is the idea, in plain words

You take a freshly realized capital gain and reinvest it into a Qualified Opportunity Zone fund within the deadline.

The tax on that original gain is deferred to a later year.

Hold the fund for ten years and the new appreciation is completely tax-free. You defer the old tax and erase tax on the new growth.

What this could be worth

Defer tax on the rolled-in gain, and pay zero tax on the fund's growth after ten years.

What to watch out for

The honest version.

  • The reinvestment window is short, so timing matters.
  • These are illiquid, long-horizon investments with real underlying risk.
  • The deferred original gain still comes due on a set date.

Common questions

What gets deferred?

The tax on the original gain you roll in is pushed to a later year.

What becomes tax-free?

If you hold the fund ten years, the growth on the new investment is tax-free.

What is the catch?

These are long-term, illiquid investments. The tax break does not remove investment risk.
