Why do people always mention this? You pay income taxes at vesting as if the entire stock was income. cap gains is only for the difference between vest price and selling if you hold it for a year.
- bagacrap 4y agomaybe because the vesting happens during a trading blackout, and by the time the window opens there have been gains which would be short term if sold immediately.
