6039 Reporting - Streamline Your Year-End Reporting Process

Streamline your ye​ar-end reporting process, lessen your administrative burden

Section 6039 reporting can be a complicated process. 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 requires it, and failure to do so can have serious consequences. 

That’s a lot of paperw​ork, a lot of data, a lot of potential for errors, and a whole lot of pressure on you to make sure it's all done right.

Let us help.

 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.​​
