6. Did you sell stocks...., click Yes
7. Did you receive a 1099-B, select No
8. Continue
9. tell us about the sale
10. Enter description, example, French stock
11. Continue
12. the next page asks for:
13. type of investment - probably other
14. how did you receive -
    • purchased or
    • something else. If something else, description - employee stock purchase
15. When did you receive- probably something other that a date, then select various. It may have been a stock grant on a date.
16. Date sold - fill in
17. Proceeds - sales price
