- pc86 7mo agoThis is incredibly tech-specific, where most workers make a small fraction of $1M a year. Physicians don't get options, attorneys don't get options. This is a fairy tale answer not grounded in reality.
- drdec 7mo agoSo what is your answer then?
- pc86 7mo agoI don't need an answer to point out that your response is relevant to probably 3 or 4 people every year who: - live in Washington State; AND - are compensated at least in part in options; AND - are compensated in excess of $1M a year; AND - are compensated far enough in excess of $1M a year that they are willing to spend time and money lowering that tax liability But the answer is "you can't, at least not legally" for everyone except those few people.
