📈 Preference for Alternative Minimum Tax AMT MCQ — CPA Exam REG | Federal Income Tax Course

Why It Matters

Understanding the correct AMT adjustment for ISOs is critical for accurate tax computation and CPA exam success because it can materially increase taxable income in the AMT calculation. Misstating the adjustment can lead to significant underpayment of tax and exam mistakes.

Summary

The video walks through a CPA exam multiple-choice question on the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) treatment of incentive stock options (ISOs). The instructor explains that for AMT purposes the adjustment equals the bargain element: fair market value at exercise minus the exercise price, illustrated by a $5-per-share difference resulting in a $50,000 AMT add-back for 10,000 shares. He rejects other choices—no adjustment, exercise price minus FMV, and capital gain on sale—and confirms answer C. The clip also promotes Farhat Lectures’ CPA prep resources and AI study aids.
