“The taxpayer can make a $1 million investment in an opportunity fund on Dec. 1, 2020 and elect to defer $1 million of 2019 long-term capital gains to potentially 2026. The $1 million of long-term capital losses offset the remaining $1 million of short-term capital gains to result in zero 2019 tax. The taxpayer effectively converts 2019 short-term capital gains into 2026 long-term capital gains.”
