Medicare May Tax Vested IPO Stock Even If Never Sold
Original: His Employer Goes Public at a $35 Billion Valuation. Medicare Can Count the Stock When It Vests, Even If He Never Sells a Share
An employee whose employer went public at a $35 billion valuation is facing an unexpected Medicare complication: vested stock counts as income for Medicare purposes even if he never sells a single share. The rule affects newly minted shareholders after IPOs, since vesting can trigger Medicare-related surcharges and income calculations regardless of whether any shares are actually cashed in.
Why now: The employer's high-profile IPO at a $35 billion valuation has put a spotlight on how vested stock affects Medicare income calculations.
