Capital gain tax on stocks

Hello, I went into option trading and was a covered call. I had stocks and I granted call options. Say, the stock I bought was 50, and I was forced to sell the stock at 55 (premium received was 3)(neglect the market price as option grantor need to fulfill the right to give stock at certain price) So how should I calculate it? Is that 3 + (55-50) = 8 realized gain? And if the exercise date goes into another accounting year, is that I put this gain into the accounting year that the clearing took place? Thank you

Hi,

You can see guidance here:

Tax when you sell shares

Thank you.

Hello, I'm afraid neither apply, because I have stocks and I'm a grantor. The stocks are exercised. I receive premium and also stock capital gain. Do I just treat the profit (premium and appreciation) as a whole? They will be executed by the option clearing limited and I will receive the residual value as a whole.
