Incentive Stock Options Exercising Them Properly!
With this incentive stock option, once your employer provides you with a summary plan and you sign the agreement, you are entitled, under the plan, to exercise your options and buy stock.
In order to exercise your incentive stock option you must be an employee from the date the grant was offered until 3 months before the date of exercise.
Incentive Stock Option- Tax Treatment
The employee does not have to pay income taxes on the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value.
If you decide to hold the stock for 1 year from the date of exercise and 2 years from the date of granting, your profit will be taxed as long-term capital gain.
