I was granted 1000 shares of stock on Dec 04, 2015

The following is a timeline of events:
200 shares vested on DEC 04, 2016
I sold the 200 shares on Dec 15,2016
but didn't receive payment until Jan 04, 2017

how do i handle this on my 2016 and 2017 taxes?

I don't know why the long settlement time between 12/15/16 and 1/4/17 - that does seem too long - but you report all of this on your 2016 income taxes.

There was an issue with the sending of the check so it had to be recent through a wire transfer.
