I may be woefully misunderstanding here but say you exercise your options, sell them then get real cash for the sale all in the same day. Can you use that cash to pay your taxes when tax season comes around?

Yes. The problem is there are various reasons why you can’t just sell stock or an early stage company the same day.

You can use whatever cash you have to pay your taxes.
