Section 83(b) ??

Hi,

In 2020, my employer offered me an opportunity to buy shares in the company (private limited company in England) for 4,000 USD that I could cash out in 4 years with a target value of 175,000 USD.  It is basically an employee retention plan.

 

I was required to sign a PS&A, file Form 83(b), and a Deed of Adherence.

 

Can someone please explain what this plan is referred to and what I need to do on my tax return for this situation, if anything?

 

Best,

Tim
