I.R.C. § 1045(a) Nonrecognition Of Gain —
In the case of any sale of qualified small business
stock held by a taxpayer other than a corporation for more than 6
months and with respect to which such taxpayer elects the application
of this section, gain from such sale shall be recognized only to
the extent that the amount realized on such sale exceeds—
I.R.C. § 1045(a)(1) —
the cost of any qualified small business
stock purchased by the taxpayer during the 60-day period beginning
on the date of such sale, reduced by
I.R.C. § 1045(a)(2) —
any portion of such cost previously
taken into account under this section.
This section shall not apply to any
gain which is treated as ordinary income for purposes of this title.
I.R.C. § 1045(b) Definitions And Special Rules —
For purposes of this section—
I.R.C. § 1045(b)(1) Qualified Small Business Stock —
The term “qualified small business stock”
has the meaning given such term by section 1202(c).
I.R.C. § 1045(b)(2) Purchase —
A taxpayer shall be treated as having purchased any

meaning of section 1012).
I.R.C. § 1045(b)(3) Basis Adjustments —
If gain from any sale is not recognized by reason of

small business stock which is purchased by the taxpayer during the
60-day period described in subsection (a).

the taxpayer's holding period for
such stock and the stock referred to in subsection (a)(1) shall be
determined without regard to section 1223,
and

only the first 6 months of the taxpayer's
holding period for the stock referred to in subsection (a)(1) shall
