My wife was an employee when she received the options, but was no longer with the company when she exercised them (2015). However the company still submitted 1099-MISC instead of W-2 form. The company is not based on the US. What leverage do I have to request the company with withdraw 1099-MISC and filing W-2 instead? Is there a section in 2015 tax code that requires company to file W-2 based on the criteria that the options were granted to an employee? Even if these options were exercised by non-employee.
