Why it qualified

Was it a 2018 zone?

What applies here
A gain invested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund after December 31, 2026 is deferred for up to five years. Held five years, basis rises by 30% if the investment is in a qualified rural opportunity fund, otherwise 10%. Held at least ten years, the investor can elect to exclude appreciation, measured no later than year 30. Because this is a rural zone, an existing building can meet the substantial improvement test with additions above 50% of its basis instead of 100%. See the OZ 2.0 rules and rural zones.
