This ain't your ordinary cost basis.
In this episode, Aaron and Trishul continue discussing cost basis. Aaron explains the math behind RSU and NQSO basis and why an ISO can have two different cost basis values. Trishul examines optimal gifting strategies. They also investigate how depreciation and upgrades can affect your home's cost basis, and how the step-up in basis on death works in community property versus separate property states. As Aaron tries to remember the nuances behind discounted ESPPs, they both realize the central point of the conversation: to turn unknown unknowns into known unknowns so that you are aware of when to be more careful.
