Are the shares in a personal account or in some retirement account like a IRA or 401K?

They are in an employee stock purchase plan with E-Trade

I have 2 purchases in 2017 of 7 and 6 shares respectively and will be holding onto the 2 purchases of shares I had in 2018 (of 6 and 6) to avoid early withdrawal penalties (I believe).  I have never sold shares before and am trying to be ahead of the game come tax time next year.
