It's unclear whether RSUs are covered by section E:
- RSUs are a type of restricted stock, which suggests that they would be covered by section E. (supporting my earlier assumption.)
- The examples in section E talk about 'purchase date' instead of 'grant date', suggesting they're talking about RSAs. (supporting your point.)
However: RSUs must be covered by that publication somehow. If they're not covered by section E, then which section covers them?
- paxys 5y agoRSUs are, I imagine, not covered by this page because – unlike ISO/NSO/RSAs – RSU vesting schedules are simply a vague promise by the employer and not something legally binding or formally recognized by tax authorities.
- rahimnathwani 5y agoYou may be right on the latter. Not sure I agree with the former. They're usually on the offer letter or employment contract.
