IRS Form 3922 Instructions
for 2022 Tax Year

1. What is the Purpose of IRS Form 3922?

IRS Form 3922 is an informational form issued by companies to employees who have participated in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Generally, employees (shareholders) don’t have to include information on their tax returns unless they sell the stock option.

When the employee decides to sell or dispose of the stock option acquired through EPPS, the employee needs the information on Form 3922 to correct the basic cost information and determine the amount of ordinary income to be recognized.
