qualified stock option

Read a random definition: non residentia clerici regis

A quick definition of qualified stock option:

A qualified stock option is a type of stock option that is granted to employees by their employer. It allows the employee to purchase company stock at a predetermined price, known as the exercise price, for a set period of time. This type of option is considered "qualified" because it meets certain requirements set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and is eligible for special tax treatment.

A more thorough explanation:

A qualified stock option is a type of stock option that meets certain requirements set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and allows the recipient to receive favorable tax treatment.

For example, if an employee is granted a qualified stock option and holds the stock for at least one year after exercising the option and two years after the grant date, any profit made from selling the stock is taxed at the lower long-term capital gains rate instead of the higher ordinary income tax rate.

Another example is if a company grants a qualified stock option to an employee with an exercise price of $10 per share and the stock price increases to $20 per share, the employee can exercise the option and purchase the stock for $10 per share, then sell it for $20 per share, resulting in a profit of $10 per share. This profit is taxed at the lower long-term capital gains rate if the employee meets the holding period requirements.

These examples illustrate how qualified stock options can provide tax benefits to employees and incentivize them to hold onto the stock for a longer period of time.
