What Is an 83(b) Election?

A powerful IRS election that can save early employees hundreds of thousands in taxes. Here's how it works in plain English.

83(b) = pay taxes on your stock NOW (low value) instead of later (high value).

You have 30 days from your grant date to file. Miss it = no do-overs.

The Math That Changes Everything

WITHOUT 83(b)

You get 50,000 shares at $0.10 each

Company exits at $50/share

Your gain:$2,495,000
Tax rate:50.3% (ordinary income)
Total tax:$1,255,000

WITH 83(b)

Tax now on $5,000 value (50k x $0.10)

Company exits at $50/share

Tax now:$500
Tax rate at exit:23.8% (capital gains)
Total tax:$594,000

Your savings with 83(b)

$661,000

That's 52% less in taxes

File Early = Pay Less

Earlier filing = lower stock value = less tax now. Most successful filers act within the first week.

The Risk-Reward Tradeoff

The Risk

Leave early or company fails = you paid tax on shares you'll never own. The IRS allows no deduction — that tax is gone.

The Reward

Company succeeds = pay 23.8% instead of 50%+. Save $100K-$500K.

3 Fears Stopping You From Filing (And How We Solve Each)

Real users describe the stress: deadline panic, filing confusion, and tax payment uncertainty. Here's how we solve each one.

"I'm Freaking Out About the Deadline"

23 days left. No extensions. Miss it = pay 100x more in taxes. One user missed by 2 days: $35,150 vs $296.

Deadline Calculator + Email Reminders

We calculate your exact deadline and send reminders at T-7, T-3, T-1 days. Visual countdown goes GREEN → RED. Zero missed deadlines in 2025.

"Where Do I Find the Form? How Do I File?"

Certified mail? Regular mail? What IRS address? Two copies? I'm paralyzed by the paperwork.

Pre-Filled Form 15620

Your grant details already filled in. Download, print, sign, mail certified. Done in 30 minutes.

"Should I Pay $60K NOW on Stock I Might Forfeit?"

If I leave or the company fails, no refund. But if it works out, I save $280K in taxes. What do I do?

Common scenarios where knowing your tax impact matters

The Startup Founder

Situation

Just received founder shares at $0.001/share with 4-year vesting

Challenge

Pay tax on shares worth almost nothing now, or risk paying 100x more later when the company is worth $50M

How They Use It

See the exact dollar difference between filing now ($127 tax) vs. paying at each vest ($180K+ if company succeeds)

Lock in today's low value

The Early-Exercise Engineer

Situation

Series A engineer who early-exercised unvested options, clock is ticking on the 30-day deadline

Challenge
