24. ESPP Taxation
Grant No Tax
Exercise No Tax
Sale
HPR Met:
W-2 income (LESSER of):
FMV @ grant - option price
Sale price - option price
Capital gain for remainder
HPR NOT Met:
W-2 income:
FMV @ purchase - option price
Capital gain for remainder
25. ESPP Example (Qualifying Disposition)
Assume 6-mo. offering period
Option price will be 85% of lesser of:
FMV on 1st or last day of offering period
FMV of stock on 1st day of offering period: $100
FMV of stock on last day of offering Period: $110
Option price = .85 * 100 = $85
FMV of stock @ purchase (last day of offering period): $110
Stock is sold 2 years after purchase for $130 (HPR met)
Grant date → No tax
Exercise date → No tax
Sale date → Total gain = $130 - $85 = $45
W-2 income is LESSER of:
FMV @ grant – option price OR Sale price – option price
($100 - $85) = $15 OR ($130 - $85) = $45
Tax consequence is:
$15 W-2 income
$30 LTCG
26. ESPP Example (Disqualifying Disposition)
Assume 6-mo. offering period
Option price will be 85% of lesser of:
FMV on 1st or last day of offering period
FMV of stock on 1st day of offering period: $100
FMV of stock on last day of offering Period: $110
Option price = .85 * 100 = $85
FMV of stock @ purchase (last day of offering period): $110
Stock is sold 15 months after purchase for $130 (HPR not met)
Grant date → No tax
Exercise date → No tax
Sale date → Total gain = $130 - $85 = $45
W-2 income:
FMV @ purchase – option price
$110 - $85 = $25
Tax consequence is:
$25 W-2 income
$20 LTCG
