Exercising incentive stock options can trigger the Alternative Minimum Tax, often catching high earners off guard.
Here's how it works:
You might see a paper gain when exercising ISOs, but if you hold the shares, that gain is treated as income for AMT purposes. The regular tax system doesn't recognize this "income," but AMT does, and the liabilities can be significant, sometimes six figures.
To avoid a surprise bill:
- Plan to exercise ISOs over multiple years to spread out potential AMT exposure.
- Run detailed tax projections with your advisor before making any moves.
- Understand the timing rules: Disqualifying dispositions can change your tax treatment completely.
A proactive approach is the difference between strategic wealth building and an expensive oversight.
Bitcoin might be more popular if it was:
- Controlled by a small number of people.
- The most popular money for criminals.
- Printed at a rate of 7% per year.
- Easy to reverse transactions.
- Limited by banking hours.
But the dollar has a strong monopoly there.
