The dividend must come from a U.S. corporation or an eligible foreign entity. If you purchase stock on or before the ex-dividend date and then hold it for at least 61 days before the next dividend is paid, then the dividend is a qualified dividend. The stock must meet the holding period requirement.
Employees are generally granted one of two types of optionsnon-qualified stock options (NQSOs) or incentive stock options (ISOs)and the main difference lies in how the spread is taxed. Note: This section refers to U.S. taxation. International tax filers may have different obligations.

One docHub consideration with qualified stock options is that exercising them may trigger the AMT. The IRS may consider the spread between the exercise price and fair market value as AMT income. Non-qualified options dont create this specific AMT concern but are subject to regular income tax at exercise.
