Tax Season 2025: myStockOptions.com Updated Resources And Special Webinar Offer Crucial Guidance On Tax Returns Involving Equity Comp

The 2025 tax-filing season (for 2024 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 2024 can be complex, given the year’s uneven stock markets and economic uncertainty,” asserts Bruce Brumberg, Editor-in-Chief of myStockOptions.com. “Moreover, changes at the IRS under the White House administration of President Donald Trump could impact the focus of the IRS in unpredictable ways.”

“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 they want is to pay too much tax or incur IRS penalties that take yet more money out of their pockets.”
