What is a 180-day reinvestment window?

The 180-day reinvestment window is the period during which taxpayers must invest capital gains into a qualified opportunity fund to receive deferral benefits. The window begins on the sale date that generated the gain. Missing this deadline disqualifies gains from opportunity zone treatment. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Tax loss harvesting coordination with opportunity zones requires careful timing.
