You don’t have the option for the company to just sell enough stock to pay the taxes on the RSUs once they vest?



No. Max withholding on RSUs is something like 22% so I have to make up the difference or owe tens of thousands at the end of the year.


When I was at Amazon (ie until last Friday). We had three options - sell all, sell enough to cover taxes, or sell none of it and pay taxes - some other kind of way that I never looked into.

Even if that’s not the case, what’s stopping you from selling enough stock yourself once they vest and make quarterly payments?

My tax rate was 22%+7.3% FICA near the end when I moved to Florida - a state with no state income tax.


Nothing stops me. I just don't do that.
