Mr. Marlowe is exercising Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) and is concerned about the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).
According to the CFP exam curriculum, what is the 'crossover ceiling' heuristic he should use?
- He should exercise ISOs up to the point where his Tentative Minimum Tax (TMT) equals his Regular Tax.
- He should only exercise ISOs if he can sell the stock within the same calendar year to trigger a disqualifying disposition.
- He should calculate a full AMT corporate spreadsheet to determine the exact tax liability.
- He should exercise all options and wait for the Minimum Tax Credit (MTC) to offset the cost in exactly two years.
