Instructions for Employee

You have received this form because your employer (or transfer agent) transferred your employer’s stock to you pursuant to your exercise of an incentive stock option (ISO). You must recognize (report) gain or loss on your tax return for the year in which you sell or otherwise dispose of the stock. Keep this form and use it to figure the gain or loss. For more information, see Pub. 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income.

When you exercise an ISO, you may have to include in alternative minimum taxable income a portion of the fair market value (FMV) of the stock acquired through the exercise of the option. For more information, see Form 6251, Alternative Minimum Tax—Individuals, and its instructions.

Employee’s taxpayer identification number (TIN). For your protection, this form may show only the last four digits of your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), or adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN). However, the employer has reported your complete TIN to the IRS.

Account number. May show an account or other unique number your employer or transfer agent assigned to distinguish your account.

Box 1. Shows the date the option to purchase the stock was granted to you.

Box 2. Shows the date you exercised the option to purchase the stock.

Box 3. Shows the exercise price per share of stock.

Box 4. Shows the FMV of a share of stock on the date the option was exercised.

Box 5. Shows the number of shares of stock transferred to you pursuant to the exercise of the option.

Box 6. Shows the name, address, and TIN of the corporation whose stock is being transferred (if other than the corporation shown in TRANSFEROR boxes in the upper left corner of the form).
