Tax Season 2024: myStockOptions.com Updated Resources And Special Webinar Offer Crucial Guidance On Tax Returns And Reporting

The 2024 tax-filing season (for 2023 income) presents more risk than ever for costly errors on tax returns among the millions of US employees who have equity compensation and company shares. Taxpayer mistakes can lead to overpaid tax, underreported income, IRS penalties, or even an IRS audit. The fully updated myStockOptions Tax Center provides expert yet easily understandable guidance on tax returns that involve stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, stock appreciation rights, employee stock purchase plans, and sales of company stock.

“The tax reporting for stock comp income received in 2023 can be complex, given the year’s uneven stock markets and ongoing economic uncertainty,” asserts Bruce Brumberg, Editor-in-Chief of myStockOptions.com.

“Our goal is to help employees and their financial or tax advisors realize the full potential of stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, and ESPPs by educating them about tax rules and helping them prevent errors. The last thing you want is to pay too much tax or incur IRS penalties that take yet more money out of your pocket. With the increase in IRS resources and targeting of wealthier taxpayers, this is a real concern.”
