Thanks for the reply. I understand that. What is different from what you said is that I suspect I will not get a W-2, since I have no earned income from the company for the 2025 tax year. I left in 2024. My reply to myself basically hypothesizes that I will not a get a W-2 and therefore will not be double taxed so I don't not have to worry about double taxation situation. My understanding is the ESSP entry in my W-2 doesn't happen until you sell the shares, which I did not do during my employment. In addition, it will be a long term gain since the sale was more than a year since the company provided the shares to me. I'm hypothesizing since I'm talking about the 2025 tax year, not the 2024.
