Are you deducting the taxes from that stock compensation?

No. I am also not deducting taxes from the part of my salary that comes in the form of base pay.

Unless you say otherwise, Morgan Stanley will deduct it for you, and IIRC, the don't take your exemptions into account - just 30% off the top. You get to decide if you want to take the tax liability or get the refund (assuming you're effective tax rate is not actually 30%).
