What are the tax implications when my RSUs vest?

When your RSUs vest, they are treated as ordinary income based on the fair market value of the shares at vesting. Taxes are withheld, often at the supplemental rate of 22%, but this may not cover your actual tax liability, especially if you're in a higher tax bracket.

Can I adjust the tax withholding on my RSUs?

Yes, many companies allow you to adjust the withholding rate on your RSUs.
Increasing the withholding can help prevent a surprise tax bill when you file your return.

Do I need to worry about wash sales if I'm selling all my RSUs?

If you're selling all your RSU shares and have no upcoming vesting events within 30 days, wash sales may not be a concern. However, if you have regular vesting schedules, especially monthly, wash sales can become more complicated.
