What exactly is Section 6039 all about?
Section 6039 of the Internal Revenue Code 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 vs. capital gain/loss reporting. Every corporation — every corporation — is required to provide this informational reporting to their participants no later than January 31st of the following year of the purchase or exercise transaction.

Need help preparing your data file?
Before we can start, we need your data, and we need it in a certain format. We do this in order to avoid errors with the data on our side.

We have a three-step process to help you get your data ready to go.
