You do not have to report the original short option transaction, nor the purchase of the assigned stocks. The only thing you have to report is the sale of the assigned stock. You report it like any other stock sale. The only difference is, if you were selling put options and the stock was assigned, your cost basis is the price you paid less the option premium you received. When you sell the stock, you report that cost basis. Your broker dealer should adjust your cost basis and report the sales on your Form 1099-B.
