income from exercise of non statutory options for our employees on W2 in 2021

We need to report income from exercise of non statutory options for our employees on W2 in 2021. I contacted Intuit Online Full Service Payroll Service and they told me they don't support any stock options income on W2. So they will not be able to process that income and related payroll taxes and W2 reporting for us. 

 

What are my options :- 

1. I can switch to a new payroll provider who handles stock options related reporting. This is my last choice.

2. Continue showing income from exercise of non statutoty options as other income and take care of payroll taxes withheld and remittance. At the year end, file corrected W2C for affeceted employees on my own. 

 

Thanks!

The Code V exists, it means that QB can not provide the full payroll service: taxes need to be calculated, correct forms filed.

 

Is there a plan to fix this?

@Jen_D  Can a full instruction be provided how to calculate the correct taxes (supplemental income), to include these amounts to all tax forms and to show the amount as Code V on W2?

We contacted the Support team and could not receive a full answer to solve this problem

 

Thanks in advance

I'm here to share details on how Intuit Online Payroll (IOP) calculates and shows the amount as Code V on Form W2s, @One1.

 

Form W-2 box 12 includes the amounts from Nontaxable per diems, Group term life insurance (GTLI) taxable amounts, Company health savings accounts (HSA), Pretax health savings accounts (HSA), and Retirement plans (401(k), 403b, SAR SEP, etc.). Code V on W-2 box 12 includes your income from the exercise of non-statutory stock options. This amount is already included as taxable income in Boxes 1, 3, and 5. 

 

You can check out this article to learn more about the W-2, box 12 codes in IOP: Reports and info about W-2 forms.

 

Also, you can either check with a tax adviser or contact our Full-Service Payroll Care team again (as directed by my colleague above). This way, you're able to get additional info about calculating supplemental income taxes.

 

Additionally, here are the articles that provide answers to the most frequently asked questions about Form W-2: 

 

Let me know in the comments below if you have other Form W-2 concerns or inquiries about tax calculations in IOP. I'm just around to help. Take care always.
