Does anyone know if IRS Form 3922 helps with these calculations? My employer provides this form for ESPP purchases but I'm not sure how to use it for tax filing.

This is exactly the kind of confusion that trips up so many people with ESPP taxes! I went through the same thing last year and made the mistake of using the subscription FMV instead of the purchase date FMV for my disqualifying disposition. The key thing to remember is that with a disqualifying disposition (selling within one year), you're essentially being taxed on the full "bargain element" - which is the difference between what the stock was actually worth when you bought it versus what you paid for it. In your case, that's $89.50 - $65.42 = $24.08 per share. The 15% discount from the subscription price is just how the ESPP program works, but for tax purposes, the IRS cares about the actual market value on the day you purchased the shares. Your ESPP Disposition Summary is correct showing $758.78 as ordinary income. One thing that helped me was keeping detailed records of all the dates and prices involved. The timing of ESPP purchases can be confusing because there's the offering period start date, the purchase date, and then your sale date - and different FMV prices apply to each for different parts of the calculation.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Mohamed. Having to deal with tax documentation while grieving is incredibly challenging, and I can see you're being very thoughtful about doing this correctly. Based on everything I've read here, it sounds like you have a solid plan forming. The consensus seems to be that for your specialized tilt wheelchair that cost $5,300 three years ago, a fair market value in the $2,400-$2,800 range would be reasonable and defensible. What really stands out to me from all the advice given is the importance of documenting your research process. The IRS isn't necessarily looking for a perfect valuation - they want to see that you made a good-faith effort to determine fair market value using reasonable methods. Your original instinct to research comparable sales was exactly right. The wide price variation you found is actually normal for specialized medical equipment, which is why having a documented methodology becomes so important. Make sure to keep everything organized in a file - your screenshots of comparable sales, notes from any calls to medical equipment dealers, photos of the wheelchair, and a brief written explanation of how you determined your final value. You won't submit this with your tax return, but having it available shows you did your due diligence. Don't forget Form 8283 and getting a specific receipt from the charity. You've got this - just take it one step at a time.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Mohamed. Having gone through a similar situation when my uncle passed away, I completely understand how overwhelming it can feel to handle these tax details while grieving. Based on all the excellent advice already shared here, it sounds like you have a clear path forward. The consensus around a $2,400-$2,800 fair market value for your 3-year-old specialized tilt wheelchair seems very reasonable given the original $5,300 cost. What I found most helpful when I was in your situation was creating a simple checklist to make sure I didn't miss any steps: - Research sold listings on eBay specifically for tilt wheelchairs - Check Facebook Marketplace and medical equipment resale sites - Call 2-3 local medical equipment dealers for professional estimates - Take detailed photos including model/serial numbers before donation - Get specific receipt mentioning "specialized tilt wheelchair" with charity's tax ID - Complete Form 8283 for donations over $500 - Create written summary of research methodology - Organize all documentation in one file for records The key thing that gave me peace of mind was understanding that the IRS wants to see you made a good-faith effort with reasonable methodology - not that you found some mythical "perfect" number. Your systematic approach to researching comparable sales shows exactly the kind of due diligence they're looking for. You're handling this thoughtfully and thoroughly. Take it one step at a time, and don't hesitate to ask if you have questions as you work through the process.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Just checked my account this morning and saw that same "Information Not Available" message for 2024 while my 2023 shows $0.00. Reading through all these responses has been such a huge relief - I was honestly starting to wonder if I'd somehow missed filing something or if there was an error with my account. It's really comforting to know this is just how the IRS system handles the current tax year before most people have filed their returns. The community knowledge here is incredible - thank you everyone for sharing your experiences and helping those of us who are newer to navigating these government systems! Definitely feels good to know we're all in the same boat with this message right now.

Hey Jessica! I totally get the anxiety - I had the exact same reaction when I first saw that message on my account a few weeks ago. What you're seeing is completely normal and nothing to worry about! The "Information Not Available" message for 2024 is just the IRS system's way of saying they don't have any processed data for the current tax year yet, which makes perfect sense since we're still early in 2025 and most people haven't filed their 2024 returns. Your 2023 showing $0.00 is actually great news - it confirms you're in good standing with no outstanding balance. That adjustment message is just standard disclaimer text that covers all scenarios where info might be temporarily unavailable. I've been checking my account regularly and see the same thing, so you're definitely not alone! The 2024 info will populate once you file your return later this year. Really no need to stress - this is just how the system handles the current tax year before filing season gets into full swing.

This is absolutely fantastic news! That sudden change to $0.00 across both tax years is one of the best signs you can see - it means the IRS has completed their review, accepted your return, and cleared your account for refund processing. I've been helping people in this community track their refunds for years, and this pattern is almost always followed by a refund within the next week. The fact that it changed so abruptly (within hours like you mentioned) indicates their systems are actively working on your case rather than it sitting dormant. Here's what typically happens next: - Your transcript should update within 24-48 hours with code 846 (refund issued) - The refund usually hits your bank account 3-7 business days after the balance goes to zero - You might see "refund sent" status on Where's My Refund before the deposit actually arrives The timing at 12:37 when you checked is actually perfect - the IRS often processes these updates during business hours when their systems are most active. Keep checking your transcript daily (early morning around 6am is best for fresh updates) and definitely keep an eye on your bank account! You're essentially at the finish line now. Congrats on making it through the processing maze! 🎉

This is exactly what you want to see! The sudden change to $0.00 across both tax years is a really positive sign - it typically means the IRS has finished processing your return and cleared any outstanding balances from your account. I went through something similar last tax season where my balance showed amounts owed one morning, then by afternoon it had dropped to zero. My refund was deposited exactly 4 days later. The fact that yours changed so quickly (within hours) suggests active processing rather than your return just sitting in queue. Your next step is to check your account transcript for transaction code 846 - that's the definitive "refund issued" code that will show the actual date your refund is scheduled to be sent. Most people see this appear within 24-48 hours after the balance goes to zero. The IRS disclaimer about recently filed returns and pending adjustments is standard language, but when you see such a dramatic change like this across multiple years, it's usually legitimate movement in your case. Keep checking both your transcript and bank account over the next few days. Based on the timing and pattern you're describing, you should see your refund very soon. You're definitely in the home stretch now!

Thank you all for the detailed responses! This community is incredibly helpful. Based on everyone's input, it sounds like my cycle code 03 should indeed be weekly processing with Thursday transcript updates. I'm encouraged by @Alexander Zeus's timeline since we filed so close together. I'll definitely check my transcript tomorrow (Thursday) and hope to see that TC 846 code with a DDD. The medical expenses aren't critical until next week, so if I get a deposit date for February 28th like suggested, that would work perfectly. I'll update this thread once I see movement - fingers crossed! Really appreciate everyone taking the time to share their experiences and knowledge about the IRS processing patterns.

As someone who's been through this exact situation multiple times, I can confirm that cycle code 03 is definitely weekly processing. I've had the same cycle code for the past 4 years and always see transcript updates on Thursdays with refund deposits typically the following Wednesday. Since you filed January 30th without any credits, you're right in the sweet spot for processing. I filed February 2nd (also cycle code 03, no credits) and just checked my transcript this morning - still showing processing but I'm expecting to see movement this Thursday. The key thing I've learned is to check your transcript on IRS.gov rather than relying on Where's My Refund, as the transcript updates first. Given your filing date and the current processing timeline, I'd expect you to see your TC 846 code (refund issued) either this Thursday or next Thursday at the latest. Keep us posted on what you find!
