An Eastman Manager Timing Stock Option Exercises Before Retirement
The Situation
A senior Eastman manager, age 57, holds $400K in vested stock options and $200K in deferred comp. They plan to retire at 62 and want to minimize the tax hit from exercising options. Their spouse earns $60K/year, and they have a rental property generating passive income.
How We Might Approach This
We might build a 5-year tax projection showing the impact of exercising options in stages — some this year, some next year, and some in the lower-income years after retirement. We'd coordinate deferred comp distribution elections with the option exercise schedule, factor in the rental income, and identify whether the spouse's income creates enough room for Roth conversions during the transition years.
