ESOP Company termination

[pdelmuto]

My husband's company was bought out by another company, He had an ESOP with the original company, the plan was terminated and paid out when the company changed owners.  Do I still have to pay the additional tax, or can I enter the amount under Other "reasons you may not have to pay the additional tax" He was born 06/1963

Income from the sale of the stock would be reported on his W-2 form in box 1 (wages) and there may also be some additional tax associated with the form 1099-B that you would receive reporting the sale of the stock. Often the basis reported on the form 1099-B is understated by the income reported on the W-2 form, so you need to adjust the basis by adding the income reported on the W-2 form.

Can you clarify that this is the "additional tax" you are referring to, or are you referring to a tax penalty, as that would not be associated with the sale of stock options.
