Program Content
This online learning program, presented as a live webcast, will be also archived for QAS Self Study. The program will be available for viewing for 12 months after the live webcast. A panel of IRS and industry experts will present the content during a live, interactive discussion, where participant questions can be submitted. Questions will be answered live on the program or posted on the Resources page.
The program, through a lively round-table discussion and real time interaction with the audience, examines the tax treatment of both employer and market stock options. The program will focus primarily on employer stock options, including both non-statutory and incentive options. Panelists also will examine Employee Stock Purchase Plans and how they differ from stock options. The panel will also explore market options, including puts, calls, staddles, hedges, and Section 1256 contracts.
By the end of the program, participants will have a practical understanding, through accurate, current, and effectively designed communications, of the tax treatment of stock options, including employer options and market options.
