Well, they have to be one or the other. All employee stock
options are either ISOs or NQOs.

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on strike price, FMV at time of
exercise, and your general current and future tax situation.
Also, if it's been more than 30 days since you exercised the
options, it's moot, since an 83(b) election has to be filed
within 30 days of exercise if I recall correctly.

thanks for the response. these are shown as 'RES' as in
restricted stock options.
I don't think they are ISO or NQO
I haven't filed a section 83(b) - should I?

Are these ISOs or NQOs? Did you file a Section 83(b)
election on the stock you received upon exercising the
options?

I received 'restricted stock options' last year and I had to
exercise them (buy) them at a price of 0.01c per share. My
Stock options Tax Summary statement (internal form) shows
that I have gain of around $24,000 (Fair Market Value was
around $4) -

I haven't sold any of these shares yet (they are not vested
yet!) Should I be paying taxes on this gain?

Appreciate your help
