>I'm not going to litigate it with you though. Google it. It's a common strategy for a company to perform an 83(b) election on your behalf when they grant you RSU's. This way, you don't have to pay taxes as the RSU's vest.

No need to litigate or use internet search, I can just read Section 83(b) of subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code[0]. Also, the election must be made on your own tax return, no one else can make it "on your behalf".

You have not explained what part of my comment in inaccurate.

Many companies are as ignorant of the actual law as their employees.
