The Netbasis ESPP tool can be very effective in addressing some of the tax complexities for ESPP transactions. When key participation plan information (offering price, discount rate, etc.) is entered into Netbasis, ESPP tax rules are automatically applied. The adjusted tax basis, capital gain/loss amounts, and ordinary income are instantly calculated. The information results are then provided in a comprehensive report for year-end tax reporting.

Netbasis has the pricing and corporate events (splits, spin-offs, mergers, etc.) and dividends for your investment but we don’t have your personal investment information.
Netbasis has multiple features that can assist you when you don’t have all your purchase information, but you have to at least have a complete purchase date.
If you don’t have this information in your records, there are only three possible sources that may have your investment information:
1 . The company in which you own shares.
2. The transfer agency for the company in which you own shares.
3. Your brokerage firm.
When reaching out to any of these options, it is important to ask specifically for your investment history and not your cost basis. None of these entities are required to report your cost basis prior to 2011 on the 1099-B, so they will answer a question about cost basis accordingly. Asking specifically for the oldest date and number of shares in the records is a good place to start.
Yes, Netbasis will calculate the average price by taking the high and low prices from the purchase date into account, and then proceed to adjust for any corporate actions that have occurred.
In the Summary section of the report, the adjusted cost basis (both per share and in total), the gains or losses for both long-term and short-term periods for covered and non-covered shares (detailed per share and in total), and the sale proceeds (per share and in total) are presented. Should there be a partial sale, information regarding the cost basis and the fair market value of the remaining shares is also included. The Detail section offers a comprehensive breakdown of all corporate actions and dividends (where applicable) that have been factored into the calculations, serving as essential documentation for personal records or for submission to a professional.
At the beginning of the report page, users can find the functionality to download the cost basis and profit/loss figures into a digital format for both the current and previous year's IRS Form 8949 and Form 1020 S (Schedule D).
