  What is...?
Taxes Due
This amount reflects taxes due that are typically not withheld by your company. Calculations for taxes due are based on U.S. tax law, the assumptions you entered and the calculated gain on your sale

If the taxes due are $0, it could either mean that you entered no tax rate or that you have a capital loss. With a capital loss, there will be no taxes due for the sale, and you may be able to use the loss to offset another gain. Many financial professionals recommend stashing these dollars in an interest-bearing account-you'll have it on hand at tax time, and in the meantime, you've put your money to work.

Note: Be sure you always consult a tax advisor before you exercise stock options or sell shares to determine how the transaction will impact your tax situation.
