    It depends on whether the enterprise is earning income. If so, it must still satisfy the income test. If not, there is no income against which to do the testing.

    During the safe harbor period, the business will qualify as a QOZB as long as it complies with the written plan as to the use of the funds. The meeting of the gross income test will also depend on the development or generation of income stage.
