The 30-Day Tax Deadline Startup Employees Can't Miss
Original: Startup Employees Who File a One-Page Letter Within 30 Days of Getting Stock Pay Tax on Pennies. On Day 31 the Same Shares Are Taxed at Whatever They're Worth When They Vest, and There Is No Extension. The 83(b) Election
US tax rules give startup employees a narrow window: filing an 83(b) election, a one-page letter to the IRS within 30 days of receiving restricted stock, means paying tax on the shares' near-zero value at grant. Miss the deadline and the same shares are taxed at their full value when they vest, with no extensions available.
Why now: Interest in the little-known but high-stakes 83(b) election deadline, which can mean thousands in tax savings for startup employees
