<prompt> Human: So essentially, T-Mobile has a promotion going on where they offer you 1 share of their stock as a customer appreciation move.Approx currently 43, you have to sign up for LOYAL3 which is a brokerage and then you can redeem your token and get the share registered in your name and then it reports to the IRS, etc etc.My question is, if Ive never invested in a stock like this, Im new to this, how will this affect me come tax time next year, will this completely change how I file taxes and therefore owe money now Ive never owed money or will the difference be little to none.I already have a 401k ROTH at work but I dont think these situations are the same.Advice is welcome, thanks!EDIT: So I felt comfortable and went ahead and redeemed the share and lets hope for the best.Assistant: Itll be the same as trading any stock. If they pay you dividends, it counts as income, if you sell it, it counts as income. Taxes dont really get more complicated because of it. Theyll give you all the tax documents youll need when the time comes. Human: So if I only get small amounts of dividends for example, is that going to drastically change my taxes?More than anything else, I didnt want this to somehow make me owe money every year rather than get money back. I cant imagine this stock will pay me anything sizable.  <response>: No
