Hi, I have a question on expat taxes, in particular with reporting restricted stock units (RSU). I work for a US company and live in Japan, though this question could apply to other countries who handle stock similarly.
Part of my income is in the form of RSUs. When working in the US the vested RSUs appear on your W2, but here they aren't included on the equivalent form (the Gensen Choshu Hyo). I have documents from my company showing the vested stocks, and the taxes already paid for me on them.
My question is what documents do I use to report these vested stocks on my US taxes? Are the company docs sufficient, or do I need something official from an accountant?
I've lived in other countries previously, and know how to complete the Foreign earned income exclusion, but RSUs are new to me while overseas.
Thanks
