Can I report incentive stock option gains on Schedule D?

Hi,

I exercised some ISOs and sold the shares on the day of exercise. The gain from the sale was reported on my W-2 form. I had thought based on advice from my accountant that I was going to report the income on Schedule D. I had a large capital loss carryover from the previous year to apply to the gain. Is there any hope that I can report the gain on Schedule D?

Thanks, RJ
