Isn't it better the Google way? You will be taxed less since you can keep the stock for 1+ year and get taxed at the Long Term Capital Gains rate. Being almost all salary will get you taxed to death.
- drewg123 11y agoMy Google stock comes as RSUs (well, they call them "GSUs"), and it is taxed as if it were income as it vests.
- ryanobjc 11y agonot so because options and RSUs mean that until the vest you don't get ownership of the stock. So if you keep it for an ADDITIONAL year then you get taxed long term on the _additional gain_. Basically options and RSU = normal income
- adrr 11y agoOptions gets hit by AMT tax when you strike them(assuming your total income puts you into AMT). You're going to be screwed either with RSUs or options by taxes just little less with AMT.
