Stock options don't last forever. Typically, there's a vesting schedule that lasts anywhere from one to four years, though some employees may have up to 10 years. And if you leave the company for whatever reason, whether it's because of a layoff, resignation, or retirement, you may only have 90 days to use them.

The excess of the fair market value of the stock at the date the option was exercised over the amount paid for the stock is taxed as compensation at the time the stock is sold. Any additional profit is taxed as capital gain.

Background. Under the employee stock option rules in the Income Tax Act, employees who exercise stock options must pay tax on the difference between the value of the stock and the exercise price paid. Provided certain conditions are met, an employee can claim an offsetting deduction equal to 50% of the taxable benefit.

An employee is not taxed when he is granted or exercises an ISO. When the stock received on the exercise of the option and held for the required period, one year, is sold the employee realizes capital gain income.

If you've held the stock or option for less than one year, your sale will result in a short-term gain or loss, which will either add to or reduce your ordinary income. Options sold after a one year or longer holding period are considered long-term capital gains or losses.

Short-term trades with options By short we mean not just a few hours, like intraday trading, but a few days. The well-known advantage of the decline in the time value is not the focus of this trade, but the change in the implied volatility and the movement of the underlying in the desired direction.

Stock options, both vested and unvested, are considered assets in a divorce that can be divided between the spouses. The most common way to divide stock options is for the divorcing employee to retain the stock options and award the nonemployee spouse other marital assets of equivalent value as an offset.

When you exercise an option, you purchase shares of the company's stock directly from the company. The grant price (also commonly referred to as the exercise price) is the amount you pay to the company for each share. This price is set by the company at the time the stock option grant is made (grant date).
