I'm not really sure what you're just saying.

I have used a high end software accounting program. It doesn't make suggestions. It follows the tax code. Here is what I wrote in regard to taxation:

"The sale of puts with over one year until expiration does not get LTCG treatment if they expire unexercised (short-term gains)."

IOW, you could write and hold a short LEAP for longer than the year but your gain will be taxed as STCG. Plan B is to read page 59 of IRS Publication 550 which indicates tax treatment of written equity options.

Cheers
