Back in 2017, I held couple of options long-term (more than a year) and sold back. Once done, it was considered LT gain. But this year, I did same again for another option I was holding since 2019 but after the sale, on -etrade, it briefly showed for 1-2 days that it was "LT gain" but since then, it showed as ST gain. I tried calling but one of the reps has eluded and confused himself and eventually I was led to call their tax dept. I am just wondering anyone has run into similar situation? Did rule change? Tax law change?
