Business & farm
Yes, this type of reporting is confusing but since this is a stock repurchase by a former employer, I have outlined the best method to report this. Before you begin however, make sure you delete all of your previous entries. You will need to start fresh when you begin entering information as described below.
- Go to federal>wages and income>investment income>stocks, bonds, other
- Now you will answer some preliminary questions. Say no if you did not receive a 1099B.
- Next screen is critical because it asks you for the sale price, description, what you originally paid for it, date sold, date acquired etc.
- In the description section, be sure to mention this is an employee stock redemption reported on a 1099 NEC.
- Now you will be asked a question if this was a sale of employee stock, here you will say yes.
- The next screen will ask what type of employee stock is it. Non-qualified stock option plan would be the most appropriate choice for this selection.
- Finish out the section reporting this income.
I think the answer to your first question is satisfied by recording your 1099 NEC as an investment sale of employee stock that will not appear on a schedule C.
Your second question is also satisfied by the third point when you enter sale price, description, what you originally paid for it, date sold, date acquired etc.
Let us know if this helps !!
