Thanks Diane
I have no issues with the income generated by vesting the RSU. However, typically RSU's vest while being an employee of the company and that income is reported via W2. However, my wife is not an employee of the company. She managed to continue receiving RSUs to vest after she left as a specific item in her self-employed contract with the company. Reporting the income from the vested RSU on a 1099 then moves those dollars into self employment category with subsequent self-employment tax. So are you saying the RSU income has to be considered as part of her self-employment income (15000 vs 175000)?
