Determining your 2017 stock plan tax requirements a step-by-step guide

Determining your 2017 stock plan tax requirements a step-by-step guide Alert: The tax-reform legislation adopted in December 2017 does not affect the 2017 tax year or the federal tax return for 2017 that you file in 2018. INSIDE How to use the Supplemental Form to avoid overpaying taxes When you exercise or sell shares acquired from a stock option plan (SOP), you may have taxable ordinary compensation income to report when you file your tax return, in addition to any capital gains or losses. If you are unsure if your plan is nonqualified, you can easily determine this by looking up your grant type on NetBenefits, under your Plan Summary page. 1

The income earned from the exercise of nonqualified stock options is taxable as ordinary income and reported on your W-2 or 1099-MISC (if you are a nonemployee of the company) along with any tax withholding that may have occurred. The difference between the fair market value (FMV) at exercise* minus the grant price (strike price) per share also known as the spread is treated as taxable compensation. In addition, you may owe tax on any capital gains resulting from the sale of your stock, which is explained in later steps.

Use the information from IRS Form 1099-B and Fidelity s Supplemental Information form to complete IRS Form 899. Example: Exercise and Hold with sale less than one year (short term) To complete Form 899 and Schedule D, you need to know: Which shares you sold from which grant When you acquired those shares (i.e., the exercise date) The fair market value of the stock at exercise The date of sale The sale price and whether it is net of commission Your cost basis Amount of ordinary income (from the Supplemental Form) 6

Use the information from IRS Form 1099-B and Fidelity s Supplemental Information form to complete IRS Form 899. Example: Exercise and Hold with sale after one year (long term) To complete Form 899 and Schedule D, you need to know: Which shares you sold from which grant When you acquired those shares (i.e., the exercise date) The fair market value of the stock at exercise The date of sale The sale price and whether it is net of commission Your cost basis Amount of ordinary income (from the Supplemental Form) 7 Continues

5 Use IRS Form 899 to calculate your capital gains and/or losses on Schedule D. Gain or loss from the sale of the stock should be reflected on Form 899 and Schedule D. How this is reflected depends on whether the sale is short term (less than one year from the date the stock was acquired to the date it was sold) or long term (more than one year from the date acquired to the date of sale). For a stock option, the holding period begins on the day after the exercise date. Example: Short-Term Gains or Losses Example: Long-Term Gains or Losses 8

Frequently Asked Questions Q: Does the tax-reform legislation adopted in December 2017 affect my 2017 taxes? A: No. The tax-reform legislation adopted in December 2017 does not affect the 2017 tax year or the federal tax return for 2017 that you file in 2018. Q: I already paid taxes on my exercise. Why did you send me a tax form related to my exercise and do I need to include it on my return? A: The income at exercise is also part of your cost basis in reporting your capital gain/loss on Form 899. All information on your Fidelity tax form will need to be included on your tax return. Any taxes that were withheld at the time of exercise will be included on your W-2 or 1099-MISC from your employer. The amount withheld is usually based on a minimum required withholding percentage set by tax laws and is just an estimate of your liability on this transaction. When you complete your tax return, you reconcile with the IRS your actual tax liability. This means you can possibly owe more taxes or you may get a refund. Q: Why do my tax forms show a capital loss from my exercise? A: Generally speaking, a loss on a 1099-B and 899 is usually a result of any market-related loss on the stock sale, and/or any commissions and fees charged. Q: What is a wash sale? A: A wash sale occurs when you sell shares at a loss and buy additional shares of the same security within a 61-day period, beginning 30 days before the sale and ending 30 days after the sale, including the date of the sale. If the sale results in a wash sale, generally, you will not be able to deduct the resulting loss. Instead, the loss and the holding period will be carried over to increase the basis of the new shares. For assistance with completing your tax return, please consult your tax advisor. Q: How is the tax withholding determined on an exercise? A: The taxes that are withheld from an exercise are determined by your employer and based on the rules for supplemental wage income. The spread on the exercise is considered ordinary compensation income, and tax withholding is generally required at the time of exercise. Therefore, it is the responsibility of your employer to manage the tax percentage due and amounts withheld from your transaction. Q: Will I owe other taxes beyond federal tax when I sell my stock? A: State and local taxes may also apply, and the rules governing such taxes may vary from federal income tax rules. Please consult your tax advisor for more information. 9
