Essentially that's what happened. I'm quite miffed as they force sold shares, didn't communicate changes in system of record, didn't communicate key dates, and never provided a per-share sale price (effectively preventing me from exercising my right to appraisal).
Quite the loop, but we circle back and the employer reported it as disqualified, so I at least know how to handle it...sort of (still not sure about cost basis across 4 payments, some in 2022 and 2023 as I mention in the other question https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-startup-iso-deferred-gains/01/2479785/highligh...)
Likely going to find a CPA if I can find one not booked.
