What's the impact of the 2013 tax increases on my restricted stock grants?


Increases in the rates on income tax, capital gains, and dividends, along with the additional Medicare tax on compensation income and the Medicare surtax, indirectly affect the value of restricted stock/RSU grants. Most importantly, the income from these grants can push your yearly income over the thresholds for these higher taxes. See this FAQ for details.




Can an RSU payout be delayed after vesting acceleration or at job termination?


A delay in RSU payout can occur. This depends on the reason for the acceleration, whether you are ending your employment with the company, and your position in the company. Read this FAQ to understand what may happen.
