Hidden OZ Tax Advantages Most Investors Are Missing (Episode 378)

About this episode

Jonathan McGuire discusses overlooked tax advantages in Opportunity Zones and their interaction with the tax code.

Most Opportunity Zone investors treat the program as its own isolated thing, but OZ is really an overlay on the pre-existing tax code, and understanding that interaction is where the real edge is. Jonathan McGuire, CPA at Aldrich Advisors, joins the show to break down Section 280B demolitions, bonus depreciation and cost segregation, partial disposals, and why operating businesses have seen so little OZ investment. Plus, what to watch as OZ 2.0 zone designations begin to take shape. Show notes & summary: https://opportunityzones.com/2026/03/jonathan-mcguire-378/
