Many executive compensation consultants say stock options are still a valuable toolas long as employers know how and when to use them. If anything, stock options may be undervalued as a performance incentive tool, particularly as part of a long-term package.
Incentive stock options are statutory (qualified) and differ from nonstatutory (nonqualified) stock options, or NSOs, in a few key ways: Eligibility. ISOs are issued only to employees, whereas NSOs can be granted to outside service providers like advisors, board directors or other consultants.
If minimizing ordinary income tax is your priority, you should focus on meeting the requirements for a qualifying disposition. This means that you have to wait for a minimum of two years from the ISO grant date and at least a year from the exercise date before you sell your ISO shares.
What Is a Non-Qualified Stock Option (NSO)? A non-qualified stock option (NSO) is a type of employee stock option wherein you pay ordinary income tax on the difference between the grant price and the price at which you exercise the option.
ISOs only apply while you are still employed at the company that issued the grant and cannot be extended beyond 90 days after you leave. NSOs dont require employment and can be extended well beyond 90 days.

What is the difference between incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options? Incentive stock options, or ISOs, are options that are entitled to potentially favorable federal tax treatment. Stock options that are not ISOs are usually referred to as nonqualified stock options or NQOs.
ISOs can only be granted to employees. So independent contractors and members of the board of directors who arent otherwise employees cant receive ISOs. Only the first $100,000 that becomes exercisable during any 12 month period can qualify for ISO treatment.
Incentive stock options are statutory (qualified) and differ from nonstatutory (nonqualified) stock options, or NSOs, in a few key ways: Eligibility. ISOs are issued only to employees, whereas NSOs can be granted to outside service providers like advisors, board directors or other consultants.
Non-qualified stock options can go to employees as well as independent contractors, partners, vendors and other people not on the company payroll. NSOs dont qualify for favorable tax treatment for the recipient but allow the company to take a tax deduction when the options are exercised.
An incentive stock option (ISO) is a corporate benefit that gives an employee the right to buy shares of company stock at a discounted price with the added benefit of possible tax breaks on the profit. The profit on qualified ISOs is usually taxed at the capital gains rate, not the higher rate for ordinary income.
