    S-Corp to C-Corp: Unlocking QSBS Benefits, with Blaine Woodson

    In this episode of QSBS, Solved, host Brady Weller sits down with Blaine Woodson, Manager in Grant Thornton's National Tax Office and a leading QSBS subject matter expert, to break down how and why companies convert from S-Corp to C-Corp to unlock Section 1202 benefits. They cover the safest way to structure a conversion (the "assets-down" method), how pre-contribution built-in gain under Section 1202(i) affects your exclusion at exit, and the business drivers pushing founders toward C-Corp form, from raising outside capital to FDII benefits on cross-border IP sales. Blaine also shares real client examples, including a bifurcated tech-and-real-estate structure and a conversion projected to save $35 million in federal tax over five years. 📍 Join Blaine and Brady at the 2026 QSBS Summit in Jackson Hole this September — registration closes August 1.

Views represented by guests and hosts are not always representative of their affiliated organizations.  Topics covered in this episode: What tax insurance actually is and how it works (it's not compulsory, it's issue-specific, and it's a one-time premium)Why QSBS is such fertile ground for tax insurance given the gray areas in the lawThe difference between "substantial authority," "more likely than not," and "should" level tax opinions — and why insurers require a higher bar than what's needed just to avoid penaltiesWhat actually gets covered: cash tax exposure, interest, audit defense costs, and gross-up for income taxes on claim proceedsReal numbers: how premiums are priced (roughly 10% for a single individual with a $10M exemption, dropping to 6-7% as more investors or larger exemptions are pooled together), inclusive of the premium, the underwriting fees, and tax opinion.Why documentation and diligence matter long before a transaction closes — and how to clean up "imperfect" historical factsHow Doug and his team act as a buffer between clients and underwriters to streamline the processAdvice for founders and investors who aren't sure if they even need insurance yet Whether you're a founder eyeing a secondary sale, a full exit, or a rollover, or an advisor helping clients navigate Section 1202, this conversation offers a practical, real-world look at how tax insurance can turn uncertainty into peace of mind.
