RSUs, ESPP & Stock Options
“Should I sell my RSUs now or keep them for better tax treatment?”
RSUs often raise both tax and investment questions at the same time, because the shares are typically taxed when they vest, while any later gain or loss depends on what happens after that point. The timing of a sale, the vesting date, and whether the shares have moved up or down since vesting are usually central factors. It also matters whether the goal is to reduce concentration in employer stock or to hold for possible future appreciation. The tax outcome often depends on how long the shares are held after vesting and how the basis is tracked. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
