- adtac 7y agoAh I'm not too sure. That might be the case.
- dmoy 7y agoRSU is taxed at vest, exactly like cash bonus for tax purposes. If you sell it immediately, it's really exactly like cash.
- arcticbull 7y agoAnd you can't offset your capital losses with RSU vesting, really really exactly like cash haha.
- akhosravian 7y agoYes. RSUs for publicly traded companies are for functionally equivalent to a cash for tax purposes. Not selling them immediately is the same as if your employer had given you a cash bonus and you bought shares of the company with the whole thing.
