1. Yes. The IRS should have marked 2023 since that is what you requested and matches the dates needed. You should try for a correction. it is important to keep all of your paperwork proving your request, the stock dates, etc. It should be a part of your investment notebook anyway.
2. How do I report an 83(b) election on my taxes? is correct that the income should be in your box 1 wages. Contact your payroll company to determine what is included in your box 1 wages. Contact your company regarding the valuation. If the FMV of the stock was zero when received, that is the correct price and nothing would be in wages.
I want to urge you to create a financial notebook that is kept separate from your tax return. Keep it safe and each year, add your year-end statements from all your financial accounts plus a copy of your W2’s, your carryover information, and proof of your basis in your various investments. You must keep tax records from the time you purchase until sold/ loss used plus 3 years. It is very easy to lose track of disallowed losses, carryforwards, and basis.
This can be a digital or paper notebook.
