OVERVIEW
The 2023 tax season brings extensive risk for costly mistakes with tax returns involving stock compensation, including cost-basis reporting for stock sales. Complications arising from the volatile and down markets of 2022, along with more IRS agents for audits, make the need for expert tax guidance more important than ever.

Our webinar on tax-return topics for stock comp will sharpen your knowledge of the reporting for stock options, restricted stock/RSUs, ESPPs, and sales of company shares. A panel of three experienced tax experts (two CPAs and an Enrolled Agent) will explain how to avoid common mistakes that can lead to tax overpayments or unwanted IRS attention. Plus, get special insights from case studies on how to use information in tax returns to create better financial plans.

This 100-minute event will be moderated by Bruce Brumberg (JD), editor-in-chief and co-founder of myStockOptions and a Forbes.com contributor.

"The webinar had some really great information."
—Lisa S., CFP®
