If my employer gives me "matching shares" how do I

[TooMuchCoffee]

My employer offers a share matching program. If I invest a certain amount into the company shares, they'll match that each month (max $30 a month, I believe).

I'm a dual US/Cdn citizen, and live in Canada. Would I need to report the matched shares in a US return? And if so, how? I wouldn't get money, I'd get shares. And I don't think the matched shares would be "mine" until I stay with the company for a certain number of years. If I left before they vested, I'd keep only the shares I paid for, not the matching portion.

Sounds good to me, except I don't know how much of a hassle the US portion would be. If it requires all kind of complex reporting, I'm not going to do it.
