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.Last edited by BHoffman; 03-29-2010, 10:42 PM.Tags: None
