EP 68 - Taxes and Equity Compensation

  • Summary

  • On this episode of the Equity Compensation Guidebook we're going to talk about one of the most important components of equity compensation. Actually, it's one of the most important parts of any successful investing strategy. Taxes! And what better time to talk about taxes than the season opener for the 2021 filing year! If you know me, you know I have a mantra when it comes to investments and taxes... It's not what you make. It's what you keep. If you end up losing a good portion of your investment returns to taxes every year, you lose the effectiveness of compounding over time. While we do not have complete control over taxes, there are things we can do. 

    I'm going to start with some of the basics but we're going to stay relatively high level when it comes to the main components of equity compensation. Non-qualified stock options, usually called NSOs or sometimes just stock options. Restricted Stock Units, referred to as RSUs, and then finally Restricted Stock, which sometimes go by Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Grants. These are the big types of equity compensation and what we will cover today!
