I am in the US and working as an agent for high school students seeking educational opportunities in the US. I’d like to discuss with you a little bit further about the options that the kid might have and possible work it out for best possible solution for the case. Send me a email if you are interested in learning more about it. Thanks! y***[email protected]
W2 doesn't always show the income portion in the purchase year unless you sell. If you transfer the shares to an outside brokerage, it won't show in w2 even if you sell. Then you have to figure out the income part yourself.
