• Enter the company's name and the amount you were paid.  Select Code G for the Reason Code
• Answer "No" for "Have you filed Form SS-8"

Hello,

Thanks for the step by step instructions. Your instructions asked to select this: "

• Answer "No" for "Have you filed Form SS-8""

But I don't see that option.  I see this option:

• "Reason code G: I filed Form SS-8 with the IRS, but have not received a reply."

It appears that I will have to file SS-8, is that true? 

Thanks,

Murli

I left a job and exercised my NSOs a few months later. It was a cashless exercise where shares were redeemed to cover the costs and tax withholding. When I got my w-2 neither the income or the withholding was reflected on it. Where do I report the withholding as taxes already paid? How do I know how much of the withholding was for state, federal, Medicare, etc?

The taxes withheld are properly reported on your W-2 form already.
