FAQ
What is an 83(b) election, and why is the 30-day deadline strict?
Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code lets you pay taxes on restricted stock at grant rather than as it vests. The IRS requires filing within exactly 30 days of receiving unvested stock—with no exceptions or extensions allowed.
What does a CIIA / PIIA agreement cover?
It assigns all patents, trade secrets, software code, domain names, and designs created by founders or contractors directly to the corporate entity, preventing future ownership disputes.
What is a Pre-incorporation IP Transfer/Bill of Sale?
If you wrote software code, designed mockups, or registered domains before the company was formally incorporated, this document officially transfers those assets from you personally to the company.
Does the 83(b) filing require state notification?
The primary filing is sent to the IRS office handling your corporate returns. Some states also require a copy attached to your personal annual tax return; complete guidance is provided.
How quickly do you turn around the 83(b) election documents?
Because of the strict 30-day statutory deadline, 83(b) packages are prioritized and delivered within 24 hours of receiving your details.
