Reporting earnings and ER contributions to an ESPP

[Guest Iwonder]

Some guidance please?

An ESPP is being terminated due to the company's acquisition. Distributions are being made. Employee contributions were taxed.

But, how are the earnings on the employee contributions to be taxed and/or reported?

Also, how are employer contributions to be taxed and/or reported?

Do we use a 1099? Do we use a W-2?

Thank you,

Call me dumb, but what kind of pension plan, pray tell, is an ESPP?
