Are you familiar with Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)? As an employee, RSUs can be an important part of your compensation package. Here are some key things to keep in mind:
1️⃣ RSUs are subject to a vesting schedule. Once the vesting period is over, you own the shares free and clear.
2️⃣ RSUs are taxable in the year that they vest. Make sure to plan accordingly with your tax professional.
3️⃣ Selling RSUs could result in either short-term or long-term capital gains taxes, depending how long you hold the RSUs after the vesting date.
To maximize the benefits of RSUs, consult with your tax professional and financial planner to discuss the best way for you to handle your RSUs.
