Tax Lot
A tax lot is a record of the details of a purchase or acquisition of a stock. Each acquisition of a stock on a different date or for a different price constitutes a new tax lot. Tax lots record cost basis information for each tax lot position.

Tax Lots Choose Specific Shares
This field displays on sell request entry screens for stocks. If you select this field, you will be able to specify the tax lot shares to sell. For individual stocks, you can also prioritize the lots to indicate the sell request in which tax lot shares are sold. Select the Tax Lots check box to Choose Specific Shares. Click "Preview Sell Request" to access the Tax Lots Choose Specific Shares screen.

Tax Withholding Method
If a stock plan transaction results in taxable income, the plan sponsor is required to withhold and remit withholding taxes due to the appropriate regulatory agencies. Your plan may allow for one or more tax withholding methods, including the Net Shares, Deposit Cash and Sell Shares methods. Participants who net shares will have the appropriate number of shares withheld by the plan sponsor at vesting/distribution/exercise in order to cover their tax obligation. They will be left with the number of shares vested/distributed/exercised, less the number of shares withheld for tax purposes. Participants who elect to deposit cash in order to satisfy their tax obligation must have the appropriate amount of cash in their Stock Plan Account on the day of vesting/distribution/exercise. The money will be debited from their Stock Plan Account upon vesting/distribution/exercise and it will be forwarded to the plan sponsor for reporting and remittance to the appropriate regulatory agencies. These people will receive the full number of shares that vested/distributed. Participants who sell shares will authorize Fidelity to execute the sale of a portion of vested shares to cover their tax obligation and any applicable commission and fees.
