BROOKLINE, Mass., Aug. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With "Tax Reform 2.0" in the news, tax planning remains at the forefront of public attention in the United States. Taxpayers remain concerned about the most effective ways to minimize taxes and prevent tax mistakes since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act took effect at the start of 2018.

This new tax law added potential confusion to the already complex arena of taxation for stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, ESPPs, and other forms of equity compensation. It has several provisions that directly and indirectly affect equity compensation, whether in personal financial planning or in company stock plan administration. While the core tax treatment of stock compensation has not been altered, the changes in the income-tax brackets have a big impact on taxpayers who receive additional income during the tax year from an equity award or cash bonus.
