What is Internal Revenue Code Section 409A?
IRC 409A applies to deferred compensation. That is, compensation an individual earns in one year, which is paid in a future year. This can create a tax burden for individuals in a given tax year for income they may not receive until a future tax year. Companies issuing stock options need to have a 409A Valuation Report estimating the fair market value of the their common stock.
Why you need a 409A Valuation Report
• 409A regulations require you to formally value the common stock of your company before issuing stock options
• Undervaluing the strike price of stock options can lead to significant taxes and penalties
• A qualified, independent 409A valuation provides safe harbor, protecting your company and employees
How long is a 409A Valuation valid for?
• Your Section 409A Valuation Report expires in 12 months, or less if there is a significant change in value
• A change in value includes a round of funding, big product launch or critical new partnership
• To be safe, many fast growing companies get a 409A Valuation Report every quarter
