15 Steps to Generate the Electronic File for Form 3921 At the Reports Main Menu, select “Form 3921” under the “Option & Stock Purchase Right” category. 15

16 Steps to Generate the Electronic File for Form 3921 At the report generation screen, CapMx will automatically default to the 2012 tax year, i.e., the calendar year in which the ISOs were exercised. The year cannot be earlier than 2010 because Form 3921 is required only for ISO exercises after 12/31/09. For ISO exercises before 01/01/10, run the “ISO Year-End Statement”. 16

17 Steps to Generate the Electronic File for Form 3921 At the report generation screen, complete the information on the bottom grid for “Electronic File Generation – Copy A”. Click “Generate”. A warning message appears regarding having the correct FMVs (Fair Market Values) in place. Click “OK” to continue or “Cancel” to exit to make adjustments as needed to the FMV Table. After clicking “OK”, the file is generated via a File Download window. Click “Save” and save it to your computer in a “.txt” format on the “Save As” window. You can change the file name but do not change the “.txt” extension NOTE: The file is generated in an ASCII format in strict accordance with IRS requirements for electronic files. If you “Open” the file the layout will be unfamiliar to you and any change to the file will make it unacceptable to the IRS. Accordingly, simply “Save” the file. 17
