Chapter 41: Taxes 921
|

Suppose he does this on July 20th, the day he receives the assignment notice on his
|
||||
XYZ July 50 call. The confirmation that he receives from his broker for the sale of
|
||||
100 XYZ at 50 - that is, the confirmation for the call assignment - should be marked
|
||||
"Versus Purchase July 20th." The year of the sale date should be noted on the con
|
||||
firmation as well. This long-term holder of XYZ stock must, of course, pay for the
|
||||
additional XYZ bought in the open market for delivery against the assignment notice.
|
||||
Thus, it is imperative that such an investor have a reserve of funds that he can fall
|
||||
back on if he thinks that he must ever implement this sort of strategy to avoid the tax
|
||||
consequences of selling his low-cost-basis stock.
|
||||
PUT EXERCISE
|
||||
If the put holder does not choose to liquidate the option in the listed market, but
|
||||
instead exercises the put - thereby selling stock at the striking price - the net cost of
|
||||
the put is subtracted from the net sale proceeds of the underlying stock.
|
||||
Example: Assume an XYZ April 45 put was bought for 2 points. XYZ had declined in
|
||||
price below 45 by April expiration, and the put holder decides to exercise his in-the
|
||||
money put rather than sell it in the option market. The commission on the stock sale
|
||||
is $85, so the net sale proceeds for the underlying stock would be:
|
||||
Sale of 100 XYZ at 45 strike ($4,500 - $85)
|
||||
Net cost of put ($200 + 25)
|
||||
Net sale proceeds on stock for tax purposes:
|
||||
$4,415
|
||||
- 225
|
||||
$4,190
|
||||
If the stock sale represents a new position - that is, the investor has shorted the
|
||||
underlying stock - it will eventually be a short-term gain or loss, according to pres
|
||||
ent tax rules governing short sales. If the put holder already owns the underlying
|
||||
stock and is using the put exercise as a means of selling that stock, his gain or loss on
|
||||
the stock transaction is computed, for tax purposes, by subtracting his original net
|
||||
stock cost from the sale proceeds as determined above.
|
||||
PUT ASSIGNMENT
|
||||
If a written put is assigned, stock is bought at the striking price. The net cost of this
|
||||
purchased stock is reduced by the amount of the original put premium received.
|
||||
Example: If one initially sold an XYZ July 40 put for 4 points, and it was assigned,
|
||||
the net cost of the stock would be determined as follows, assuming a $75 commission
|
||||
charge on the stock purchase:
