Investor Tax Credits and Tax Exclusions are important incentives to startup investors which help mitigate some of the risk with these investments. David and Paul review the use of state tax credits in those Southern states that offer them and how out-of-state investors monetize these credits. The South Carolina Angel Investor Tax Credit is reviewed in detail as an example of how these credits work and how they discount startup investments up to 35%. We touch on the Federal Sec. 1202 Capital Gains tax exclusion but deal with that more extensively in E12 on the Tax Benefits of Startup Investing.
