I used to pay taxes when they vested. And manage your tax burden better - bigger mortgage, charities, dependents
Presumably it’s more than IRA contribution limits, but can you transfer in kind to that?
What’s that?
What taxes are you trying to avoid?
Vesting RSU are taxed as compensation and generally deposited net (ie your firm withholds enough to pay tax). If you want to get them gross of withholding you’ll still have to pay income taxes the following year so you’ll have to set aside cash to do that.
The only other tax you may have to pay is from the gain from the cost basis at which shares are deposited and the price you sell them.
Can’t avoid the taxman... :)
Do you have a black-out period for the vested RSUs? What’s your vesting schedule? Prior to receiving the value paid as stock (also cash), you will need to settle-up on the tax due. This is because your restricted stock units are often taxed when they vest. The amount that is taxable to you (as compensation income, which is potentially subject to Social Security and Medicare tax), is equal to: (Number of Vested Units) x (Fair Market Value of the Stock) = Compensation Income. To cover this income tax need, you could consider some of the following options when your restricted stock units vest:
Net Exercise – A net exercise allows BOAML to withhold the number of units required to meet the pending tax bill prior to delivering the remainder to you.
Cashless Exercise – In a cashless exercise, you immediately sell some of all of your shares of restricted stock units. If you choose to sell only enough to cover the tax bill, it is often referred to as a sell-to-cover. If you sell all your vested shares, it is commonly referred to as a same-day sale.
Cash Exercise – A cash exercise means that you pay BOAML the amount of cash required to cover the tax bill at the time of exercise. This results in your retaining the maximum number of shares.
Don’t assume that just because BOAML may automatically withhold a percentage to cover taxes, that this is sufficient to meet your total tax need. You may still owe additional tax at the end of the year, pending your specific tax returns.
Know your tax situation (Fed, State and local) so you can plan for the tax due if any. In fact, knowing a tax may be due may be a reason to make an estimated tax payment in the quarter the restricted stocks units vest. Again, it may make sense to work with a CPA (and me :) who can help you work through the numbers. Each tax situation is different, and without knowing your situation, I can only share the concept, not make a recommendation.
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. You have given me much to think about. I think the shares vest at 50 a year and taxes get taken out when they vest.
