RSU Taxes - A tech employee's guide to tax on restricted stock units | Ageras

Many employees receive restricted stock units (RSUs) as a part of their compensation, particularly in the tech industry.

In order to make employee compensation more manageable for tech companies, at least a portion of it can be paid in the form of stock. In addition to reducing the amount of cash, employers have to give out, this type of compensation serves as an incentive for employees to perform well.

Restricted stock units are technically a promise of future stock. As a result, you own nothing, and the IRS won't tax you until you do.

As soon as your vesting period ends, your stock units become real. This is when your stock becomes yours. After this date, your stock becomes yours without restrictions. This is known as the vesting date.As part of your compensation from your employer, your new stocks are taxed as ordinary income.

Upon vesting, the IRS will tax you on the value of your shares.
