Got Restricted Stock? Don’t Forget the 83(b) Election!
If you’ve received restricted stock grants as part of your compensation, congratulations — you're officially investing in your future! But here’s a smart tax tip you can’t afford to overlook: Filing an 83(b) election with the IRS.
Why it matters:
✅ You pay taxes on the fair market value of the stock at the time of grant — not when it vests (hopefully at a lower value).
✅ All future appreciation is taxed as long-term capital gains, not ordinary income.
✅ You start the capital gains clock early, which could lead to big savings down the road.
✅You only have 30 days from the grant date to file — no extensions, no second chances.
If you believe your stock’s value will rise, filing an 83(b) can be a powerful move. Talk to a tax advisor to make sure it's right for you.
