We're retired. We have come into a little bit of cash that I would normally roll into our high dividend stocks but I'd like to defer tax on any income from this money to 2019, if possible. I'm considering either buying a call or selling an OOM put. Either would have an expiry date in early 2019. I would guess they are taxed differently. Perhaps the call is taxed as a capital loss, as it's an expenditure that should be deductible from CG? How is selling a put taxed? Thanks in advance for any information.
