Filing a Section 83(b) Election: Did Your Client Miss the 30-Day Deadline?
A recurring issue for many business lawyers involves an employee who receives stock subject to vesting conditions.

If the employee does not file the Section 83(b) election within 30 days of the grant date, the employee is generally forced to recognize the stock value as income as he or she satisfies the vesting conditions – which will often happen at a time when the stock has appreciated and the amount of taxable income has correspondingly increased.
