Just for the sake of accuracy here:

If you exercise a non-qualified option this _is_ a taxable event, and the spread between your option price and the price of the stock is compensation income subject to withholding.

The exercise of an incentive stock option is not a taxable event, but if you sell it before the required holding period it becomes a taxable disqualifying disposition (but no withholding is generally required).
