What will be reported? Plan administrators, transfer agents, and brokerages vary significantly in how (or if) they track lot-by-lot original cost and acquisition date, gain/loss, cash payouts, and current cost basis for the many complex HP-related stock events – and what (if anything) they report to the IRS.
