Need to know about AMT preference items, add backs, and exclusions? And how do AMT credits work?

Aaron provides an example of how the AMT exemption matters when exercising ISOs and why you may not get all of your AMT credit back in future years. Without a doubt, AMT is a complex beast. But with luck, this episode will turn a few unknown unknowns into known unknowns.
