Clark, When our companies fill out their tax returns for the IRS, many of them happily report stock option expense right up front using the Black Scholes model, subtracting stock options expense from taxable income on their 1120s. Why is that the IRS has not noticed that these companies are “double counting” stock option expenses? Generally the IRS looks rather unfavorably on such behavior (double counting expenses that is). Or to put the question another way: Why is that reporting stock options expenses to me is “double counting” stock options expense, but reporting stock options expense to the IRS is not “double counting” stock options expenses?

(I believe the answer is that it is not "double counting" stock options expense in either case.)

Best, Huey
