It's advisable to consult with a tax professional for specific guidance.

The tax levied on trading transaction
You do it twice. The first is when you exercise the option. An ISO has a "strike price" - the price you get to buy the stock at. Stock has a fair market price, which is what everyone else has to pay for it. The spread between the two is used to calculate your Alternative Minimum Tax in the year you exercise the ISO, if you hold the stock at the end of the year. Yes, of course there is an example. You work for Acme, and they gave you an ISO to buy 100,000 shares of stock at $10 per share. On the date you exercised this option, the stock was trading at $11. Subtract $10 from $11, multiply by the 100,000 shares, and you have to tell the IRS about $100,000 in spread. If you hold the stock for at least one year after exercising the stock AND two years after receiving the ISO (which might actually mean you held the stock for two years, if you exercised the ISO right away), the tax you will pay is long-term capital gains tax on the difference between the strike price of the ISO and the price you sold at.
