If the lawsuit specifies that the money is to be used for non-taxable items, like attorney fees paid in, retirement, medicare/social security, or if it specifies those items that can be sheltered, then you don't pay taxes on those.  H&R Block says awards for pain and suffering/mental anquish aren't taxable, but the IRS said they might be but that a specific BREAKDOWN of all amounts and categories by the court or legal agents must be done for the IRS to know what parts are taxable and which are not.  Reimbursements for salaries, for instance, is taxable.

When you have paid security transaction tax at the time of selling securities (shares), then, \n\nIf you are an investor and not trader:\n\n1. If you are selling the shares after 12 months, then it comes under long term capital gains and you need not have to pay any tax on that gain.\n\n2. If you are selling the shares before 12 months then you have to pay short term capital gains @10% flat on the gain.\n\nIf you are a trader and not an investor:\n\nAll your gains will be treated as trading (Business) and you have to pay tax as per tax sables.  In this case the transaction tax paid by you can be claimed back/adjusted in tax to be paid.\n\nReddy.

There are a lot of facts I would want to know to give you a definitive answer, but in general employee gifts that have significant value are taxable to employees in the same manner as wages.

If you have stock options, you have the right to purchase stock at a set price. The price you'll pay is set by the Board of Directors (usually). If the company is pre-IPO, the price may be quite low. The hope is that when the company goes public, your stock will be worth more than the option price.\n\nThe vesting schedule sets forth the time and amount of stock you can purchase.

Yes, they pay SS tax just like everyone else. In fact because some are self employed, they pay twice as much. The "company's" share and the "employee's" share.\n\nThere is no exemption if you earn more than $100,000!!! You pay the max!!

Laying off workers = saving tons of money on salary. If they can do the same jobs with fewer workers, all kudos to them. If they saved tons of money for shareholders, then CEO should be compensated appropriately.\n\nWhoever doesn't like should invest their own money and start a new company, and then hire like thousands of workers, and pay money for nothing.

Yes, the company can have a bank account wherever it wants to. The state of incorporation is irrelevant.\n\nLikewise, income is taxed based on the state(s) of nexus, which is based on the states in which the company has sales, payroll and property.\n\nDE also assesses tax based on the # of shares and the par value of the shares outstanding.\n\nYou can follow the link below to read more about how CA assesses tax on 'foreign' (non-CA) corporations, and the process of apportionment of income

If a company runs out of money, employees have several possibile ways to collect. \n\nFirst, go immediately to the Department of Labor's Employment Securities Commission. \n\nReporting there does several things. First, you can get information on other jobs, possibly unemployment benefits, and the department of Labor has ways to force employers to pay up. If you get a paycheck that bounces, the DOL can get your money for you. It takes a while, but that's better than not getting your wages at all.\n\nAnd notify the Social Security Commission. Employers must pay your Social security taxes.\n\nAnd notify the Internal Revenue Service. Employers must pay the IRS the money they have deducted from your wages. The IRS can shut a business down and take an employer's personal assets to recoup social security, medicare, and withholding taxes for you.\n\nIf your employer is a corporation, the officers of the corporation have less accountability than the owners of a company, but the IRS has ways.

Stock option grants and stock grants are two forms of compensation often offered as incentives in addition to base salary offered to a newly hired employee. This practice is especially common in the high tech industry. \n\nStock options are contracts that allow you to buy or sell specific amount of a particular stock at a certain price within a set period of time. The set price is called the strike price. When you (the stock option holder) make use of your right to buy/sell stock according to the terms of the option, you are exercising the option. Call options are options giving you the right to buy stock. Put options are options giving you the right to sell stock. Employers grant call options to employees. Let's take an example: Let's say you are hired by Google and they offer you options to buy 100 shares of Google stock at $400 within the next 5 years. This stock option gives you the right to buy 100 shares of Google stock at exactly $400 any time within the next 5 years. Let's say it's after four years now. Suppose Google stock is at $300 now, now your options are worthless, because you could buy Google stock in the market for $300, much less than the $400 price offered by your stock option. Now suppose Google stock is at $500 now, then if you exercise your option, you could buy 100 shares at $400. Then you can turn around and sell it on the stock market for the current price of $500, making a $100*100=$10000 profit. So the stock option is basically not worth anything if currently the stock price is lower than your option strike price. But as long as your option has not expired, it's possible that the stock price could go above your strike price and make your stock options worth something.\n\nStock grants are simpler to understand. The employer gives you some shares of stock for free. So let's use the Google example again. Suppose Google hired you and gave you 100 shares in a stock grant. Now you own 100 shares of Google stock. At anytime, you could sell that stock for whatever price it is trading at on the stock market.\n\nStock option and stock grants are usually offered on terms called vesting. That means that you are not given the full amount of options or stock right away, but rather the employer gives it to you over time. A common vesting schedule is vesting over four years, so that you get 1/4 of the stock or options offered after the first, second, third, and fourth year you have been at the company. This is done to give employees an incentive to stay at the company.

The stock received by you is considered income, and will be taxed based on the value it had at the time of transfer to you.  This value will usually be determined by the company if the stock is not publicly traded.\n\nOnce you receive the stock, you can hold it or sell it.  If you sell it for a gain later on, you pay LT or ST capital gains tax depending on the holding period. If you sell for a loss, you can claim a loss deduction against other Cap Gains, or write off $3K each year against other income,  until the loss is wiped out.\n\nBear in mind that you will likely be asked to pay FICA and Medicare taxes on the value of your stock, since it is considered as income.  Your best bet is to talk to your company HR manager.\n\nIf you receive stock options, that is a whole different story. Can be discussed some other time.

It just depend what type of 1099 you have. If you worked them you need to do a schedule c and schedule se if you have a gain on your job. If its a pension or a 401k that you took out early you have to figure the additional tax on the plan, which is 10 percent of what you took out.

When you exercise Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) and sell them immediately, you recognize ordinary income. So you will have income of 4000 x $8 = $32,000, which will be taxed at ordinary rates.\n\nOn the shares you do not sell, if you hold them for two years from the date or grant and one year from the date of exercise, you will qualify to recognize the income from the sale as long-term capital gain. However, you recognize income for purposes of the Alternative Minimum Tax at the time of exercise. So, 16,000 x $8 = $128,000 will be added to your AMTI. If you pay AMT because of this, you may get part of it back, as a credit, in later years, because when you sell the 16,000 shares it will be a reduction to your AMTI.
