Thanks for the reply but I may not have explained my situation accurately enough.
From 2000-2014 I worked for company A and participated in the ESPP with a 15% discount.
In 2014 the company decided to split into 2 different companies. I now work for company B.
When the split happened, all shareholders of company A were given a number of shares in company B.
In 2015 I sold all my shares in company A. On my taxes I reported the cost basis as per the various 3922 forms I had collected. I paid for the entire 15% discount at that time as regular income.
Now I have sold some of the shares in company B that I obtained as a result of the split.
The 1099B I received shows the various stock purchase dates during the years before company B existed.
1) Since I already reported the full amount of the ESPP discount in 2015, Do I have to report that again?
2) If I just report the stock sales as normal (non-ESPP) shares, will the purchase dates that predate the companies existence cause a problem or result in an audit?
3) How should I report the capital gains in this situation?
