Snapshot of ESPP Tax

The problem

Qualifying vs. disqualifying dispositions, bargain element, and basis are easy to mix up — and W-2 reporting already did some of the work.

What it does

Walk a purchase and sale through lookback pricing, holding periods, ordinary vs. capital treatment, and estimated federal/state dollars. Educational planning only — not tax advice.
