ESPP holdings are entered as purchase lots. Retain the original purchase and offering details because they help determine the lot's modeled treatment.
Add a purchase lot
Open the client → Equity.
Use Add ESPP Lot or Add Lot in ESPP Analysis where available.
Select the company and plan type.
Enter offering start and purchase dates, shares purchased, purchase price per share, and the FMV inputs requested by the form.
Review the discount and any additional basis or reported-income fields against the source records.
Save and reconcile the resulting lot.
Only enter advisor-adjusted basis or reported W-2 income when you have support for the value. Preserve the distinction between broker-reported and advisor-adjusted amounts.
Model a sale
Open a manual trading plan and expand ESPP Purchase Lots in Equity Inventory. Choose the intended lot, date, and quantity, then review the modeled income, gain, and proceeds.
For qualifying employee stock purchase plans, purchase and disposition facts affect tax treatment. Form 3922 contains important dates and values; review it with the client's tax professional. IRS Topic 427.
Sharing limitation
The plan-sharing control currently warns that client-portal reports do not support planned ESPP sales. Review an appropriate advisor report and verify its ESPP content before sharing a result.
