I did a sell to cover transaction of a NSO= NQSO. reported the amount sold to cover as a exercise and same day sale, no problem there. but how to account for the remainder of stock that I now hold? I could manually enter values in the "stock options worksheet" but that's awkward.
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
There's no need to report the shares that you exercised and did not sell. All the necessary reporting has been done by entering the W-2, (compensation created by exercise, taxes withheld because of compensation), and your entry of the sale of the stock "for taxes", (typically creating a small loss).
When you buy a stock through your broker you don't report that purchase in your income tax return until you sell the stock. The stock you bought through your employer, (exercise price paid plus your time and effort recorded as compensation), is no different then that broker-purchased stock.

Assume this same question, but now I just sold my shares I held for more than 1 year. Where do you do the interview in TT2020? It only give me the choices of same day sale.
