What Is an 83(b) Election?

When you receive restricted stock as compensation, the IRS lets you choose to be taxed on the stock's value at the time of the grant rather than when it vests. This is a Section 83(b) election.

Filing is done by mailing a signed election statement to the IRS office where you would normally file your income tax return. The correct address depends on the state you live in. MailMyTaxes™ automatically determines the correct IRS mailing address for your state — you just upload your signed election and we take care of the rest.

This is general information, not tax advice. See IRS Form 15620 for the official 83(b) election form and instructions.

Why Certified Mail?

The 83(b) election has a hard 30-day deadline. If the IRS claims they never received it, you need proof you mailed it on time. Certified Mail with Return Receipt gives you:

A USPS-stamped receipt proving the date you mailed
A tracking number for delivery status
A signed return receipt proving the IRS received it

We strongly recommend Certified Mail + Return Receipt for all 83(b) elections. We pre-select these for you.

Before You Upload

Make sure your 83(b) election statement includes:

Your election statement is signed and dated
Your name, address, and SSN/ITIN are included
The date of the stock/property transfer is stated
Fair market value at time of transfer is included
A description of the property is included
You are filing within 30 days of your stock grant
You are keeping a copy for your records and your employer
You can use IRS Form 15620 or prepare your own election statement. Either format is accepted.
