| Thought I would post this - wasn't sure the answer. Any help would be appreciated!
Can you tell me the tax implications of these two scenarios:
1. Exercising options during the first six months after a company goes public (the “do not sell” period) vs. 2. Exercising options after this period (when I think you can do a buy/sell transaction all in one)? | |

| Are these employee options? If so, are they ISO's or nonqualified options? | |

| In #1 if it is a Non-qualifed option, the spread is taxable when exercised anyway,
It devolves into a question of risk, not taxes. | |

| Yes, they are employee options. I'll check if they are ISO or nonqualified. | |
