E*TRADE merged with Morgan Stanley but most users still hold accounts on the E*TRADE platform. Beyond standard Brokerage and IRA accounts, E*TRADE is the dominant employer stock-plan recordkeeper in the U.S. — RSU vesting events, ESPP purchase events, ISO exercises, NQSO exercises all generate complex tax events that need to flow into Schedule D and W-2 reconciliation.
RSU vesting creates a tax event on the day of vest (ordinary income at vest-day FMV) plus a cost basis for future capital-gain calculation when the RSU is sold. ESPP purchases add the disqualifying-disposition vs qualifying-disposition complication. Generic PDF tools either miss the stock-plan section entirely or extract it but lose the tax-relevant fields.
PDFExcel reads E*TRADE Brokerage and IRA statements with the standard workflow — holdings, transactions, dividends, realized G&L on separate sheets. Stock Plan (ESPP / RSU / ISO / NQSO) statements extract with vest date, vest-day FMV, shares vested, ordinary income at vest, sold-to-cover shares (when same-day-sale), and cost basis for retained shares.
Year-end consolidated 1099s reconcile across 1099-DIV / 1099-B sections plus a Stock Plan supplemental schedule. Pair with W-2 extraction to reconcile RSU ordinary income reported in Box 1 against the stock-plan supplemental schedule. Built-in OCR handles scanned statements automatically.
The model knows that an RSU vest creates ordinary income at FMV on vest date AND establishes cost basis for future capital-gain calculation — and that ESPP purchases need both purchase price and FMV-on-purchase preserved for the qualifying-vs-disqualifying disposition test.
E*TRADE is the dominant employer stock-plan recordkeeper. Most tools handle generic brokerage statements but miss the stock-plan-specific fields critical for accurate tax filing.
Each vest event with vest-day FMV, shares vested, sold-to-cover, and adjusted cost basis for retained shares — Schedule D + W-2 reconciliation ready.

4 RSU vests per year. Convert year-end Stock Plan supplemental, build per-vest cost-basis worksheet for retained-share Schedule D when shares are eventually sold.
10 clients at the same large tech employer, each with RSU + ESPP. Convert all 10 stock-plan supplementals as one batch, reconcile RSU ordinary income to W-2 Box 1 in 30 minutes per client vs 3 hours of typing.
Founder client took NQSO exercise during liquidity event. Convert E*TRADE statement showing exercise event with FMV, exercise price, and ordinary income — feeds into the founder's Schedule D and AMT preference calculation.
Yes. RSU vest events extract with vest date, shares vested, vest-day FMV, sold-to-cover shares (when applicable), retained shares, and the adjusted cost basis for retained shares. Critical for accurate Schedule D filing when retained shares are eventually sold.
Yes. ESPP purchases extract with offering-period start date, purchase date, purchase price, FMV-on-purchase, and discount amount. The qualifying-vs-disqualifying test depends on holding period — we provide the input data; the test still happens in your tax-prep workflow.
We export both pieces — Stock Plan supplemental shows RSU ordinary income at vest, W-2 extraction shows Box 1 wages. Reconciliation happens in your worksheet — the two numbers should agree (employer should have included RSU ordinary income in W-2 wages).
Yes. Post-merger, some accounts moved to Morgan Stanley wealth platforms while others remain on E*TRADE. The model reads both layouts. Stock Plan accounts predominantly stay on E*TRADE.
