Yes the stocks I got through my company are one of two types:
- Signing bonus stock (that vested a year after I joined) - I got the stock sitting in my broker account
- ESPP that i was able to purchase through my employer at a 10% discount, up to a specific amount. That stock is also in the broker account
Both can be withdrawn at any time
My understanding is any gains from stocks (whether stock options, purchasing stocks, etc) that are within the tax year are short term gains, and any that go to the NEXT tax year are long term gains, right?
