1099B stock option income, but already reported in W2 wages I reported Stock Option NQSO and followed the screens and have the right total from my adjusted 1098 form but turbotax keeps telling me I need to fix a problem on review that the totals don't add up. With an incentive stock option (ISO), the employer grants the employee an option to purchase stock in the employer's corporation, or parent or subsidiary corporations, at a predetermined price, called the exercise price or strike price. Stock can be purchased at the strike price as soon as the option vests (becomes available to be exercised). In many plans, the price that you pay for the stock is the stock price at the time you started contributing to the fund, or the stock price at the time your employer purchases the shares on your behalf, whichever is lower, with a discount of up to 15 percent.
