Frequently Asked Questions — cpa-firm in Los Altos Hills, CA
How are RSUs taxed in California?
RSUs are taxed as ordinary income in the year they vest, subject to both federal and California state income tax. KDA Inc.’s tax strategists help tech employees plan RSU vesting events to minimize the tax impact. Book a free consultation to build your vesting strategy.
Do I owe California taxes on stock options?
Yes. Both ISOs and NSOs trigger California tax obligations. ISOs may trigger AMT at exercise; NSOs are taxed as ordinary income. KDA Inc. specializes in equity compensation tax planning for Bay Area tech professionals.
How does California tax crypto gains?
California does not have a preferential capital gains rate — all crypto gains are taxed as ordinary income at the state level. KDA Inc. works with crypto investors to harvest losses, time dispositions, and minimize the California tax burden.
Can I deduct my home office if I work remotely in the Bay Area?
W-2 employees cannot deduct home office expenses on federal returns under current law. However, self-employed individuals and 1099 contractors can. KDA Inc. helps remote workers and contractors structure their deductions correctly.
What is the California SDI and how does it affect my taxes?
California State Disability Insurance (SDI) is a mandatory payroll deduction. It is deductible on your federal return as a state tax paid. KDA Inc. ensures all California-specific deductions are captured on your return.
