Packet prepared

Form 15620 field checklist, company copy letter, proof-of-filing checklist, mailing instructions, and packet passport.

Scope checked first

Individual recipients of restricted stock, early-exercised option shares, or a simple profits-interest-like grant who already decided to file.

Annual passport

A reusable record for next year, not a locked account.

Supported lane

Simple first, hard stops before the packet.

The product keeps the fast path narrow. It checks the supported case, prepares the packet, and sends anything outside scope to the official source or a professional.

Why this price

The recurring admin pain, without the extra layers.

The product does not sell advice. It sells a clean self-preparation workflow: collect facts, calculate the narrow packet, keep a passport, and point you to the official filing path.

Will you tell me whether I should file an 83(b) election?

No. The product is only for users who already decided to file. We do not provide legal, tax, valuation, securities, compensation, equity-plan, or immigration advice.

What does the packet include?

A simple deadline calculation, Form 15620 field checklist, company copy letter, proof-of-filing checklist, filing-method instructions, and a packet passport from your browser draft.

Does the product file with the IRS for me?

No. You review, sign, mail, copy, and keep proof through the official path. The product does not transmit, represent, or certify filing.

What cases stop before checkout?

RSUs, unexercised options, fully vested property, missed deadlines, uncertain transfer dates, complex entity grants, valuation disputes, revocation questions, and advice requests stop before checkout.

Do you collect my SSN or TIN?

No. The app reminds you to complete the TIN directly on the official form outside the browser draft.

Can I use this for profits interests?

Only as a narrow packet workflow after you already decided to file and have settled facts. Partnership tax, entity, capital-account, and legal characterization questions are outside scope.
