        • Restricted stock units (RSUs)

        • Non-Qualified Options (NQs)
          • Usually have no favorable tax treatments
          • When exercised the delta between market price and exercise price is realized, and that is usually treated as ordinary income
            • Reported by employers on W2 as income
          • When sold the delta between price and market price when exercised is treated as capital gain/loss
            • Short term capital gain/loss may apply
        • Incentive Stock Options (ISOs)
          • Usually have favourable tax treatments
          • My stock options are this type
          • Only when sold is when the tax is calculated
          • Can be treated as a qualifying disposition which has favourable tax considerations if it meets:
            • Hold for more than 1 year after exercise
            • Hold for more than 2 years after grant date
    • Start H1B application - tell them my international travel plans
