Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you exercised and held NQSOs in 2018, and did not sell them in 2018, then there is nothing to report, other than the income that is already included in box 1 of your W-2. If you sold in 2019, you will report the sale then. Your cost basis will be the amount you paid plus any compensation added to your W-2 in 2018 due to the difference between the option strike price and the share price at the time of exercise.
