RSUs, ESPP & Stock Options
“Should I sell my RSUs now, or is it better for me to wait on taxes?”
Whether to sell RSUs now or hold them often turns on a few tax and planning factors, including the value at vesting, any later price changes, and how the shares fit with your broader income picture. In many cases, the tax treatment is driven by the vesting event and the stock’s market value at that time, while any later gain or loss can depend on how long the shares are held after vesting. Employment income, withholding, and whether you already have concentrated company stock exposure can also shape the comparison between selling sooner and waiting. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
