Deductions & credits

Okay, this makes sense...I did understand that when an NQSO is exercised that it became a taxable event on the difference between the stock price when exercised and the strike price, but I did not make the connection that it was considered ordinary income. It makes complete sense that there isn't any capital gains or losses when sold at the same moment that exercising occurs. 

Thanks for your very detailed explanation, it seriously helped.
