    I know what you mean. Yes, that's how I would handle it.

    Really easy ESPP question

    I have to re-learn this every single time it comes up. I remember that the answer is easy but looks hard.

    Nonqualified ESPP held for over a year:

    W2 reports $800 in box 12 code V.

    1099B reports proceeds of $1,200.

    Statement reports option cost of $405.

    I think cost basis is: $800 + $405 = $1,205.

    Report on Sch D with a resulting $5 loss and that's all there is to it, right?

    Thanks for any advice.
