Review by E

I don’t believe in conspiracy theories, but I am convinced that RSUs (or Restricted Stock Units) are a secret conspiracy between accountants and the US government. RSUs replaced stock options at most companies in about 2008.

The interface in Turbo Tax requires you to accumulate at least three different documents, the monthly statement from your broker, your 1099-B, and the End of Year Statement from your employer. Turbo Tax proceeds to ask you questions that aren’t on any of those documents.

[insert primal scream here]nnI almost gave up and went to H&R Block, but instead turned off the Guided Tour in Turbo Tax and entered the information manually.
