Employee Share Plans
Employee stock purchase plans: Wage boost or wealth accumulation?
Streamline your year-end reporting process
Section 6039 Reporting can be a complicated process. The Internal Revenue Code’s Section 6039 requires companies to provide annual informational reporting to participants who have received or transferred stock in conjunction with either a 423(b) qualified employee stock purchase plan or an incentive stock option plan.
The reporting is intended to assist participants in filing tax returns which might be complicated due to ordinary income versus capital gain/loss reporting. Every corporation is required to provide this informational reporting to their participants no later than January 31 of the year following the purchase or exercise transaction.
What does 6039 Reporting mean for your company?
You have to provide transaction statements for employees who have acquired stock through a 423(b) qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) or exercised an incentive stock option (ISO).
You have to file Form 3921 for each ISO exercise.
You have to file Form 3922 for each ESPP transaction.
And you MUST do it. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires it, and failure to do so can have serious consequences. That’s a lot of paperwork, a lot of data, a lot of potential for errors. And yes, a whole lot of pressure on you to make sure it's all done right. Let us help.
