Are Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) Taxed as Ordinary Income?
Many corporations seek to incentivize their valued employees to remain with the company (unless the firm is downsizing) to limit the damage of turnover.

In that case, you might need to file state income taxes in each state. That can be confusing, time-consuming, and complex. In many states, the entity can file a composite tax return that reports the individual state earnings of each investor.

Real estate investors benefit from the tax shelter that real estate depreciation provides. Best of all, depreciation is a non-cash flow expense since it doesn’t impact an investor’s bank account.
