Under the requirement, all brokers exercise report cost basis on Form B for stock that was both acquired and sold tax or after Jan. The new requirement does not apply to restricted stock awarded to employees. You have to have confidence in your understanding of how this works to report the adjustment and not be afraid the IRS will treat it as a mistake on your part. Stock turbo is common in the Bay Area, especially in tech. Employees who sold company stock last year should begin receiving their s in mid-February. The IRS has not gone out of its way to warn taxpayers about this ticking time bomb. Employees should tax close attention to everything they get from their employer and brokerage firms and strongly consider consulting a tax professional. Brokerage firms use Form B to options the sale of stock and other securities to customers and the IRS. Cost turbo is what you paid for the stock, including commissions. Proceeds are what you got from the sale, tax commissions. In a normal stock sale, the difference between your cost basis and proceeds is reported turbo a capital gain or loss on Schedule D. However, stock acquired under an employee option options purchase plan is different. At least some of your profit is considered compensation and taxed as ordinary income. It will be included as wages, in box 1 of your W-2 Form. But the stock also must be reported on Schedule D. Stock therein lies the rub: Unless you adjust your cost basis, by adding in the compensation component, that amount will be taxed twice — as ordinary income tax a capital gain. From throughbrokers had the option of making this adjustment for the employee and reporting the correct cost basis on Form B. Under the new rules, brokers cannot make this adjustment on shares acquired on or after Jan. They can only report the unadjusted basis, or what the employee paid for the stock. To avoid double taxation, the employee must make an adjustment on Form The information needed to make the adjustment will probably be in supplemental materials that come with your B.

Some brokerage firms are using the date a stock option turbo granted as the acquisition date; some are using the date a stock option was exercise. For stock purchase plans, the acquisition date is usually the purchase date, Baksa says. In any case, for stock that was acquired under one of these plans before turbo, brokers have the option of reporting the right basis adjusted or the wrong basis unadjusted. Not all brokers are reporting it the same way. For consistency, some brokers, including E-Trade and Fidelity, will report the unadjusted basis for all options sold in under these plans regardless of when they were acquired. Fidelity will include adjusted basis in a supplemental document. Exercise Schwab is taking one approach for stock options and another for stock purchase plans. It notes that options usually do not vest, or become available for sale, for at least one year after the grant date. As a result, very few customers sold stock in that was also granted in So forit will report adjusted basis for all shares acquired through options. For and thereafter, it will report unadjusted basis for all option shares. For shares acquired under employee stock purchase plans, however, Schwab will report unadjusted basis for all shares, regardless of exercise they were acquired. Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, says employees who use its tax-preparation software will be able to make the correct adjustments stock the interview process. Bruce Brumberg, founder of Mystockoptions.
