With US corporate tax rates and capital gains (above $1m) potentially moving higher... the Section 1202 on C Corps is looking even more advantageous for a qualified small business. Any chance this provision is at risk? Any other considerations folks are weighing in switching from LLC to C Corp with 1202?

It is too early to know details of Biden tax proposal. Knowing the way things happen in DC, 1202 changes will be a last minute "sneak". We expect details in###-###-#### days.
1) I have proposed bifurcation of CG rate into "Investing CG" rate for gain resulting from investing into a company, and "Trading CG" rate for gain resulting from buying/selling stock on an exchange. "Investing" creates jobs, "Trading" does not. The thesis is, "job creation should be rewarded; holding stock for 365 should not. Comments were new idea, never heard of this, makes sense, etc. However, one chief tax advisors said that the chairman wanting one rate for every thing, and the other chief tax advisor said :"this is a backdoor to protect hedge funds", which it is not, but that is the way DC works,
We have more meetings as details come out.
2) A new proposal I am working on is something like "borrowing against appreciated assets (like stocks) will be deemed as realized gain". This hopefully will address a large amount of discussion on unrealized gain of billionaires.
Comments on the two proposals are welcome. .
