ESPP disqualifying disposition - where do you enter the ordinary income adjustment

[sjrcpa]

Isn't it on the W-2?

[Robyn0213]

it doesn't appear to be.  The employer wouldn't know that the employee sold the stock in 2023

[sjrcpa]

Why wouldn't they? The administrator and the employer usually communicate.

There's nothing in Box 14 of the W-2?

I'd ask the client for the pay stubs covering the sale date(s).

I've seen it both ways, but if it's the current employer it's usually in the W-2.  I get year-end paystubs from all of my clients with equity compensation.
