I sold stock options but did not receive a 1099B

[rjmarshall]

In box 12 on my W2 there is an amount with the code 'V'. I sold some vested stock options last year and had them send me a check. When I check with UBS it says that no 1099 will be issued. Does that mean that I do NOT have to enter any specific information about the sale of the options?

When code V is reported in box 12 on your tax return, it means that the income from your stock sale was included in your wages. It is already being included in your income, so you do not need to report anything further. The profits are taxed as ordinary income.

The options you describe are non-qualified stock options. This article explains more about how non-qualified stock options are taxed.
