Stockawards

Executives and key employees often receive stock-based compensation in addition to salaries and bonuses. If restricted stock is part of your compensation, considering the potential tax consequences well before December 31 is a good idea. You may have decisions to make if: 1) you’ve recently received an award or are expecting one soon, 2) your restricted shares have vested in 2026 or will vest before the end of the year, or 3) you’ve sold shares this year or are considering a sale.
