Your tax situation is unique in that, as you mentioned in a prior post, your stock is not publicly traded. All of the posts responding to this subject relate to situations where stock is publicly traded and thus, an employer can include the discount on a W-2 and the employee can adjust their cost basis accordingly. Moreover, as noted in prior posts, while you exercised your options, if you did not sell, there is no gain or loss to report. All you are left with is reporting the discount as ordinary income.
If your former employer did not report the discount on your W-2, could it be that there is no discount to report? In other words, your exercise price is equal to the fair market value of this non-publicly traded stock, and thus, there is no discount to report. Perhaps the only way to verify this scenario is to contact your former employer and ascertain why your W-2 does not include the discount. If it does include the discount, then because you have not sold your stock, there is nothing to report on your return. If it does not include the discount, but should have, then you need to find out if your employer will issue you an amended W-2.
