FAQ
An employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) is a company-run program in which participating employees can purchase company stock at a discounted price.At the purchase date, the company uses the employee's accumulated funds to purchase stock in the company on behalf of the participating employees.
IRS Form 3922 Transfer of Stock Acquired Through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan Under Section 423(c) is for informational purposes only and is not entered into your return. You will need this information when you sell the stock, so the form should be kept for your records.
To comply with the safe harbor policy, a company must limit any ESPP purchase price discount to no more than 5% and prohibit option-like features, such as lookback periods, to be considered non-compensatory.
When you sell ESPP shares, your employer reports your ESPP income as wages in box 1 of your Form W-2.Whether you had a qualified or disqualified disposition determines how much of the income is on your W-2. The tax amounts, along with the value of your shares, may be reported on your W-2.
If you are risk-averse, you might consider selling your ESPP shares right away so you don't have overexposure in one stock, particularly that of your own employer.However, selling too early may have unfavorable tax consequences compared to holding the stock for a longer period of time.
So you must report $225 on line 7 on the Form 1040 as "ESPP Ordinary Income." You must also report the sale of your stock on Schedule D, Part II as a long-term sale. It's long term because there is over one year between the date acquired (6/30/2016) and the date of sale (1/20/2020).
Taxes on the Sale of ESPP Shares When you purchase ESPP shares, you don't owe any taxes. But when you sell the stock, the discount you received on the price is considered additional compensation, so that the government will tax it.
When you buy stock under an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), the income isn't taxable at the time you buy it. You'll recognize the income and pay tax on it when you sell the stock. When you sell the stock, the income can be either ordinary or capital gain.
A qualified ESPP is a plan which is designed and operates according to Internal Revenue Section 423 regulations. Under a qualified ESPP, employees purchase stock at a discount from the fair market value, yet do not owe taxes on that discount at the time of purchase.
