Question

Are my 2016 performance shares that were paid in 2020 short term or long term stock?

If my shares are listed in box A is that for short term capital gains?

If your Form 1099-B, box 2, has Short-term gain or loss checked, it's short-term.

That information would then get carried into form 8889 Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets, Part 1 box (A) Short-term transactions reported on Form(s) 1099-B showing basis was reported to the IRS.
