Question: Options and Short vs Long Term Capital Gains


Hey guys, question on selling options and short vs long term capital gains taxes.

I’ve bought a series of long-term options (exp in 2026) spaced out across the last few months. For example: 5 on 01Oct, 5 on 01Nov, 5 on 01Dec.

If I sell them next year, selling 5 on 02Oct, 5 more on 02Nov, and the last 5 on 02Dec, would these all count as long-term capital gains, with the assumption for taxes that I sold the oldest ones first?

In RH it just breaks down how many I have at each Strike Price and the original date bought, so it’s a little tricky to view. Any other considerations I should keep in mind? Thanks!
