USA Ramifications on ISO's if new tax bill is passed and AMT is eliminated

[Darren114]

Hi,

Suppose AMT is removed with the new tax bill that may be passed this year in 2017, would that mean the individual would no longer be susceptible to the dreaded AMT tax hit and essentially pay nothing when exercising his/her ISO's? In other words, could the individual just sell the shares one year after exercise (and two years after grant) and ultimately just pay capital gains tax without paying any taxes in between?

I make it a habit to not speculate about proposed laws until they actually pass, but unless otherwise addressed in legislation, yes.
