Investors & landlords
Any compensation income received from your employer in the current year is included on your W-2 in Box 1.
If you sold any stock units to cover taxes, this information is included on Form W-2 as well. Review Boxes 12 and 14 as they list any income on Form W-2 related to your employee stock options.
If there is no 1099-B there is no sale required to be reported. The IRS tried to make this process easier as there should be 0 or deminimis loss once you add the income portion to the basis, possibly a small loss due to fees.
Stock options granted in connection with the performance of services.
If an employee, former employee, or other service provider, in connection with the performance of services, obtains substantially vested shares of stock from the exercise of a stock option, and sells that stock through a broker on the same day, then the broker may not be required to report the sale on Form 1099-B. For details, see Rev. Proc. 2002-50, which is on page 173 of Internal Revenue Bulletin 2002-29 at IRS.gov/pub/irs-irbs/irb02-29.pdf.
