National Landing Tax PreparationAmazon HQ2 RSUs, Pentagon Contractors & Federal Workers.Generic Software Wasn't Built for This. We Were.
National Landing Tax Preparation means handling Amazon HQ2 equity, the Pentagon corridor, and one of the highest concentrations of equity compensation, federal employment, and defense contracting in Northern Virginia. Generic software wasn't built for this. We were.
These aren't edge cases here - they're the standard. We've built our National Landing Tax Preparation practice around exactly these situations, and our Crystal City location puts us minutes from the professionals who face them every day.
Every Equity Situation
Amazon HQ2 Produces
National Landing Tax Preparation requires handling RSUs, stock options, and ESPP as three separate tax events with three separate sets of rules. Most preparers handle one of them correctly. We handle all three - plus the multi-state complications that come with a workforce that moved to Virginia from somewhere else.
RSU Vesting Events
RSUs are taxable as ordinary income at vesting - the spread between $0 cost basis and FMV at vest date is reported on your W-2. The subsequent sale creates a separate capital gain or loss. Most Amazon employees have both in the same year. We track every lot, every vest date, every sale.
Stock Options (ISO vs NQSO)
NQSOs create ordinary income at exercise. ISOs create an AMT preference item - and if you hold ISO shares past year-end, you may owe AMT even if you never sold. The disqualifying disposition rules are where most mistakes happen. We apply them correctly the first time.
ESPP - Employee Stock Purchase Plans
ESPP shares sold within two years of the offering date are a disqualifying disposition - the discount is ordinary income, not capital gain. Most software gets this wrong. Most preparers don't ask. We do.
Multi-State Equity Income
If you received RSU grants while living in another state, that state may have a claim on the income - even after you moved to Virginia. We apportion equity income across states correctly, apply every available credit, and prevent double-taxation.
Year-End Equity Planning
When to exercise. When to sell. How to manage AMT exposure. How to sequence sales to maximize long-term capital gain treatment. These are planning conversations, not just filing questions - and they're available to every client year-round.
Prior-Year Equity Corrections
If a prior-year return reported equity income incorrectly - wrong basis, wrong holding period, wrong state allocation - the IRS allows amendments going back three years. We review prior returns when we take on new clients and flag what's recoverable.
