I can't offer any advice on how to do this in ESP but it might involve manual calculations outside ESP, then entering certain amounts as special receipts or special expenditures.

This tool may help arrive at those values outside ESP. I just found that calculator when learning what an NUA is. (I've always worked in non-profit. Employer's stock was never part of my retirement plan.) Anyway, the site has a lot of other useful calculators, unrelated to NUAs.

It's lost to users but available to Dan, who manages the forum. Perhaps he'll retrieve some and post them here.

I found this; not sure if it's of any help:

metalmike at kingwoodcabl wrote:I understand that the way to treat a NUA distribution of stock from your retirement plan is to add it as a special receipt. It looks like this is then transferred to the Regular Assets account. A couple of questions on this.

1. How do you make sure this is treated as stock with long term capital gains tax basis?
2. What is the withdrawal rule on this relative to your retirement account?
3. How can I force this to be withdrawn first, i.e., before my retirement account?
:?
1. Make sure you select "Taxable at capital gains rates" when you enter the special receipt.

2. I'm not sure, perhaps Larry will chime in.

3. Good question.

Best,

I'd be glad to ask Larry to come comment.
