Does all of your employee stock option tax advice apply to Washington State?

Answer

Hello Landry,

My federal tax advice should apply to Washington State. Washington State doesn’t have an income tax. There are other Washington taxes that I am not familiar with and that you should consult with a local tax advisor about. Also, the community property rules for Washington State operate differently from our California community property rules, so you should consult with a Washington attorney for your estate planning.

Good luck!
