If restricted stock is part of your compensation, considering the potential tax consequences well before Dec. 31 is a good idea. You may have decisions to make if: 1) you’ve recently received an award or are expecting one soon, 2) your restricted shares have vested in 2026 or will vest before the end of the year, or 3) you’ve sold shares this year or are considering a sale.

They also may provide planning opportunities that will affect your 2026 and future taxes. Contact us for assistance.
