RSUs, ESPP & Stock Options
“Do I sell my RSUs now or hold them for better taxes?”
Whether to sell RSUs now or hold them for a later tax outcome often depends on the vesting date, the fair market value at vesting, and how much of your wealth is already tied to the same employer’s stock. RSUs are typically taxed when they vest, so the later sale often affects capital gain or loss treatment rather than the initial ordinary income piece. The answer can also vary based on your overall income level, state tax rules, and whether you want to manage concentration risk versus potential appreciation. A targeted review with a CPA can turn the uncertainty into a clear next step.
