Thanks marlib, I have been using their site, spreadsheets, and forums. Really great info there but there were still was some questions about whether or not this 367(a) would trigger an ESPP event or whether the ESPP event could be delayed until the actual sale of the MFGP stock. Seen indications both ways on their forum with no definitive answer so I thought I would ask here. The 367(a) foreign spinoff/merger has not occurred with an HP stock spinoff before, so there are still questions on how it interacts with ESPP. Guess it is best to error on the side that it does trigger an ESPP event and report the ordinary income. They do have all the info out there to work out all of the calculations needed. They did a great job. Thanks for your reply and assistance.
