how to file income tax returns for profits from espp stock?
user
i did this for the last tax year so hopefully i can help you. you should get a 1099-b (around the same time you're getting your w-2(s)) from the trustee (whichever company facilitates the espp) that has all the information you need to file. you'll fill out a schedule d and (probably) a form 8949 to describe the capital gains and/or losses from your sale(s). it's no different than if you had bought and sold stock with any brokerage.
