Tax Season 2022: myStockOptions.com Offers Crucial Guidance On Tax Returns And IRS Reporting Changes

The myStockOptions Tax Center has all the answers on tax returns that involve stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plans.

IRS tax forms and reporting rules have changed yet again for the 2022 tax-return season, adding confusion to an already complicated process for the millions of employees in the United States who have equity compensation and shares of their companies’ stock. With these and the many other tax changes of recent years, the 2022 tax-filing season presents more risk than ever for expensive errors on tax returns. Taxpayer mistakes can lead to overpaid tax, underreported income, IRS penalties, or even an IRS audit.

“Tax reporting for stock compensation is complex,” emphasizes Bruce Brumberg, Editor-in-Chief of myStockOptions.com. “The changes for 2022, including where to put income left off Form W-2, expand what you must understand before you prepare your tax return. Even accountants and tax advisors sometimes make mistakes. Our goal is to help employees and their advisors realize the full potential of stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, and ESPPs by educating them about tax rules and helping them prevent costly errors. The last thing taxpayers want is to pay too much tax or incur IRS penalties that take yet more money out of their pockets.”
