What about stock grants where you are given stock at a certain price?

I'm thinking back to my CFP studies. I know this was in there, but this is not something an advisor deals with very often so I don't remember. This is a complex cap gains issue anyway. This is one I'd definitely talk to an accountant about. Or, if you ask really nicely
, I think I could get an answer for you in a few days. I`d call in a favour. If no one here answers (maybe there are accountants on the site) then let me know if you`d like me to check for you.
