If Restricted Stock Units (RSU's) vested in 2018, should the amount be reported as § 6 Income from employment, or § 8 Income from capital assets? Moreover, if participation in an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) in the same year earned profit by acquiring the shares at a higher rate (nominal versus issue rate), should that income be reported as § 6 Income from employment, or § 8 Income from capital assets?
