Re: Business, Economics, and Tax Policy 8: Bezos Takes Over the World
Tax question for you geniuses.
We get 15% off stock in our employee stock program through monthly stock options.
It tells us we have to pay regular income taxes on the lesser of:- the difference between FMV at the grant date and the discounted price
- excess (if any) of the price I sell over the price I bought it at.
Assume I've held the stock for two years after purchase, so it's fully qualified.
Let's consider the two scenarios:
Lot 1:
FMV at purchase date: $100
Purchase price: $85
FMV at grant date (which I assume is the beginning of the offering period, which is the entire month): $90
Sell Today at $110
Lot 2:
FMV @ purchase: $100
Purchase Price: $85
FMV @ grant: $90
Sell tomorrow at $80
Do I have the following correct:
Lot 1: regular income = MIN( $90-$85=$5 , $110-$85=$25) = $5 ----- Capital gains: $110-$85 = $15
Lot 2: regular income = MIN( $90-$85=$5 , $80-$85=-$5) = -$5?? ----- Capital loss: -$5??
Is that right? Because I'm confused if that second scenario is applicable to regular income (losses?) or capital losses. Or would I still have to pay regular income taxes on the $90-$85=$5 and I get to take -$5 as a capital loss?Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Re: Business, Economics, and Tax Policy 8: Bezos Takes Over the World
We have a discount ESPP, too. Helps keep investments diversified while giving employees who buy-in a reason to give a sheet about the company's performance.
Ours is different though, it is a payroll deduction held in escrow for six months. At which time they buy all the whole shares they can for you at a 15% discount from the current list price, and any remainder is returned to your next check as taxable income.
