I'm under the belief that vest for tax purposes isn't until the share becomes liquid. If the startup can't exercise then, for tax purposes, has the share vested

I'm under the belief that vest for tax purposes isn't until the share becomes liquid. If the startup can't exercise then, for tax purposes, has the share vested? I believe it has not (and have, in the past, filed taxes on this belief, with the support of my accountant.)

You're describing how things are now and have missed the point - this bill will mean that you will have to pay tax on vesting.

  Am I? I thought I was providing supporting evidence for the adjustment of when "vest" actually occurs.

    That's not supporting evidence; your believe is incorrect. Vesting is unrelated to liquidity and can occur without the ability to sell shares.
