Using clear English and annotated diagrams of real IRS forms, the section "Reporting Company Stock Sales" in the Tax Center on myStockOptions.com shows how you report sales of company stock on Schedule D of your tax return.

Brookline, MA, March 1, 2007 - Every tax season raises worries about costly errors on tax returns, especially for employees who must report sales of company stock. Even their accountants and tax advisors can make mistakes. myStockOptions.com (http://www.mystockoptions.com), the top online resource of educational content on stock compensation, has enhanced its award-winning Tax Center with a unique section about reporting sales of company stock on Schedule D of IRS Form 1040 (Reporting Company Stock Sales).

Using clear explanations and easy-to-follow annotated diagrams of the actual IRS form, detailed FAQs show employees, accountants, and tax advisors how to complete Schedule D ("Capital Gains and Losses") for a variety of situations involving sales of stock from:

• nonqualified stock options (NQSOs)
• incentive stock options (ISOs)
• restricted stock
• restricted stock units (RSUs)
• employee stock purchase plans (ESPPs)
• stock appreciation rights (SARs)

"The tax reporting for stock compensation is complex," observes Bruce Brumberg, Editor-in-Chief of myStockOptions.com. "Our goal is to help employees with stock pay realize the full potential of their equity grants by educating them about tax rules and helping them prevent mistakes."

Reporting For Many Types Of Stock Sales

The section answers questions on a wide variety of reporting for stock sales, from basic to complex. Advanced reporting situations, all fully illustrated, include:

• I exercised NQSOs, held the stock, and now have long-term capital gains on the sale. Do I get any "credit" on my tax return for the income tax I paid for the spread at exercise?

• How am I taxed if I have made a disqualifying disposition of incentive stock option (ISO) shares in a different year than the year I exercised the option?

• When I hold restricted stock after it vests and later have capital gains on the sale, will I get any "credit" for the income tax I paid at vesting?

• When my restricted stock units vested, my company automatically withheld shares to cover the tax. Do I need to report these shares on my Schedule D?

• My company's employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) is not tax-qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. How do I report any gain that results from the sale of my ESPP shares on my federal income-tax return?

• How do I report any gain that results from the sale of my stock appreciation rights (SARs) shares on my federal income-tax return?

The answers to these questions are presented in plain English and are clearly illustrated with annotated diagrams of the real IRS form.
