Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You would have an employee stock purchase plan sale reported on your W-2 as well as reported on a 1099-B 

only if you sold stock that was purchased through an ESPP (Employee Stock Purchase Plan).

 

In such a case, the sale will be reported on Form 1099-B, which you should receive from your brokerage around tax time (early February is typical). Enter the 1099-B to report the sale on your tax return.

 

If you merely purchased (but didn't sell) ESPP shares, there's nothing to report.

 

Hopefully you received information about your benefit from your employer and/or your broker.

 

Click on the Search magnifying glass in the upper right hand corner of the screen to find information about how to enter your particular benefit.
