FAQs

An 83(b) election is a tax document you file with the IRS, electing to pay tax on your equity grant at its fair market value on grant rather than at vest.

In certain situations – such as high-growth startups – the fair market value of stock can increase exponentially.  By making the 83(b) election, you’re protecting yourself from paying ordinary income tax on that appreciation, which can potentially result in saving a fortune on taxes.
No, the IRS requires 83(b) elections to be mailed in.  Electronic filings are currently not available.
Of course!  We offer our services because we know that doing this yourself can be a hassle – making sure you’re sending it to the right address, using the right bulletproof protocol, and taking time out of your day to prepare the package and visit a post office.  Rather than spend hours and still wonder if you got it right, you can get it done in minutes with peace of mind.
Yes, you have 30 days from the day your equity is granted to you to make the 83(b) election.
No, it’s only available for property that is: (a) granted as compensation for services, and (b) is subject to vesting.  Restricted stock (RSAs) and profits interests are two common examples where the 83(b) election is available.  Notably, the 83(b) election is unavailable for stock options (unless early exercised) and RSUs (restricted stock units), since these are not considered “property” for purposes of this election.

We treat each and every 83(b) election order we receive as if it were our own. We prepare the envelope, send it to the IRS, and track it as if we were doing this for our own shares in Corpora.

We make it a point to send out your 83(b) election by the next business day after it is finalized (you’ve drafted, reviewed, and fully signed it).

We got you covered. The protocol we use to send your 83(b) election acts as evidence that your 83(b) election is delivered to the IRS even if it isn’t actually delivered (for example, gets lost in the process). That said, please note that we are not responsible for matters beyond our control, such as lost items.

Yes. We carry Errors & Omissions and cybersecurity insurance policy with $1,000,000 limit.

21 days from the date of transfer of your equity. This allows us time to reach out to you in case there are problems with your submission. After the 21-day cut-off, we’ll be unable to process your 83(b) election.

No. The accuracy of your 83(b) election is entirely your responsibility. Any comments we share with you regarding your 83(b) election are provided as a courtesy, and it’s entirely up to you whether you take our comments into account or not. Please check out our terms.

No.  Our role here is purely technical – after you sign your 83(b) election, all we do is print it out, send it to the IRS, and keep track of it.  Also, if and once we receive the IRS date-stamped copy of your 83(b) election, we’ll upload a scanned copy to your account.  Please check out our terms.
