Inbox Question | Company Stock in 401K

Big Picture Retirement

In this episode, Brian asks some great questions about using Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) for company stock inside a 401(k). We dive into the rules, timing, and strategies that could lead to major tax savings—if you do it right.

We cover:

• What exactly is NUA and why it matters

• Can you use NUA before retirement?

• Do you need to be age 59½?

• Can you move the stock out in segments, or does it have to be all at once?

• Common mistakes that could cost you
