Summary from link above (TODO: more details on the RSU section):
How much of the stock sale price is compensation and how much is capital gain?
That depends on whether your stock sale is a qualifying disposition or a disqualifying disposition.
Disqualifying disposition:
You sold the stock within two years after the offering date or one year or less from the exercise (purchase date).
- In this case, your employer will report the bargain element as compensation on your Form W-2, so you will have to pay taxes on that amount as ordinary income.
- The bargain element is the difference between the exercise price and the market price on the exercise date.
- Any additional profit is considered capital gain (short-term or long-term depending on how long you held the shares) and should be reported on Schedule D.
Qualifying disposition:
You sold the stock at least two years after the offering (grant date) and at least one year after the exercise (purchase date).
- If so, a portion of the profit (the “bargain element”) is considered compensation income (taxed at regular rates) on your Form 1040.
- Any additional profit is considered long-term capital gain (which is be taxed at lower rates than compensation income) and should be reported on Schedule D, Capital Gains and Losses.

That is a lot of cash when you just have one to three months to pay it back. Purchasers be careful: when contemplating going out on a limb vehicle title credit, consider these money related entanglements previously you make all necessary endorsements: www.aaa1autotitleloans.com/chicago
