If you purchased ESPP shares, your employer will send you Form 3922, Transfer of Stock Acquired Through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

We have good news – you don't need to enter this form on your return. It's sent to you for informational purposes only.

If you sold stock that was purchased through an ESPP (Employee Stock Purchase Plan), the sale will be reported on Form 1099-B, which you should receive from your brokerage around tax time (early February is typical). Simply enter your 1099-B to report the sale on your tax return.

If you merely purchased (but did not sell) ESPP shares, there's nothing to report.
