About this episode

The episode discusses the Opportunity Zones program and its benefits for investors with insights from Jimmy Atkinson.

What if you could sell a business, stock, or real estate, defer the tax you owe today, and eliminate future capital gains tax? That is the promise of Opportunity Zones, and most investors hear about it too late. The Opportunity Zone program has been around since 2018, but now it has been made a permanent part of the tax code, thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. So how does it actually work, and who is it for? In this interview, Andy Hagans digs into those questions with Jimmy Atkinson, founder of OpportunityZones.com and author of The Opportunity Zones Playbook, featuring a foreword by Senator Tim Scott. If you have a capital gain coming, this conversation is for you. Get the book in hardcover, paperback, or ebook: https://opportunityzonesplaybook.com/
