Thread: Article on Valuing Stock Options As Compensation

Yes, (exclamation) I need this article.

LLC, LP, LLP Context
(Readers remember: LLCs surpassed stalwart Corporation as most numerous entity)
To the above forum member. Helse requests a dialogue relating to present and future
options to purchase partnership entity equities in exchange for services. Example:
Newco LLP grants $100,000 service option, payable in 12 parts over 1 year, to accountant
for services in calendar year. Is Corporation analysis applicable to partnership if
option is for future services?

Corp Stock or LLC Shares
By analogy the "stock" option valuation may help to solve a long standing "dispute"
between Helse, Zahid and Pat. We are not arguing, merely stalled on budget vs. tax
and securities valuations. If we declare LLC share immediate value, federal and state employment
and income tax is triggered. Pat and Helse are yet to reconvene our discussion relating
to treatment of so-called "evergreen" options.

Booking LLC Future Interests Exchanged for Services
(Readers remember: Obamacare's 10% tax will mimic FICA worker classification rules)
If LLC distributes option to purchase LLC shares (stock) how shall we treat option
price if option strike prices are "out of the water" (exceed current market value of
LLC interest.

Merci for link and eagle eye poster.
