So, a follow up question. I know the div equivalents are already included in Box 1 of W-2. What I cant figure out is if this could cause a double taxation on Trading site(whichever company it is used by the employers ). I have several dividends paid by Trading company XYZ for the same name as my employer. Dates of dividends distributed by Trading company XYZ do not match those of Vesting schedule. Could I be double paying taxes on these dividends? Or companies usually pay this without reporting those cash equivalents on Trading company XYZ?
