@MattLaciskey I bring up this question every time I talk to clients about their RSUs for the first time unless I know that they’ve been selling them upon vest (rare)… I would estimate 80% are confused over the taxation, and think holding the shares after they vest for a year is the move.
@MattLaciskey When someone expresses that they think their bonus is taxed at a different rate, it tells me that they also don’t understand what is happening in a general sense when they file their tax return each year, yet people think accountants are going to be completely replaced by AI
@danjstefanski On a related note, when I was watching Breaking Bad, seeing Gus Fring have two residences connected by a tunnel, all I could think about was the tax treatment. 280E comes into play. Businesses use of home. Seems an underground tunnel could qualify for bonus depreciation.
1. For RSUs, ask yourself this:
If my bonus was paid in cash, would I use it to buy the stock?
If not, consider selling
You've already been taxed once it vests anyway

@LoganGrafTax You’re in Texas so you don’t see a lot of clients paying hundreds of thousands of state tax…. In California that change from $10K to $40K is nice for the retired couple sitting on the beach in duel adjacent bathtubs, but still leaves a lot of meat on the bone. PTE lives on.
When I see a social media tax “expert” put out a really stupid video involving “secret loopholes the IRS doesn’t want you to know about” like the QBI deduction, and everyone in my profession tells me I should just let it go. No, I will not be letting it go.
