Medical scientists have identified a disorder, known as Traumatic 1042 Election Distress, that can afflict business owners who pursue Section 1042 sales of their company stock to an ESOP. The researchers(1) recently concluded their clinical study, based on observations of hundreds of patients over the past 30 years. Their newly published findings identify common stress patterns observed among these business owner patients. The disorder is curable if diagnosed early.

Learn to recognize these symptoms:

The Six Stages of Traumatic 1042 Election Distress

  1. Overwhelmed: “There is so much complexity in forming an ESOP. I need to focus on one thing at a time. After all, I have 12 months to figure out my 1042 rollover options;”
  2. Denial: “QRP seems simple enough. I should be able to recognize a ‘domestic operating company’ when I see one. Nothing to worry about.”
  3. Anger: “Floating rate notes are the recommended option?(2) I have to buy them and then borrow against them to get at my money? You’ve got to be kidding me!”
  4. Fear and Worry: “What if I wake up one day and realize the bonds are never going up in value? What if the issuer goes bust or else redeems the bonds before I am gone? What if I get a margin call?
  5. Hope: “Maybe if I follow my stock broker’s advice and monetize these bonds, he can reinvest the money, beat the market and earn back what I left on the table!”
  6. Stress and Anxiety: “How much money am I leaving on the table? There must be a better way—Call 9-1-1!!
  7. Depression: “Still, I suppose it’s better than recognizing capital gains. I hope I don’t outlive my bond’s maturity date! Why doesn’t this sit well with me?”
