Sorry, had a client pop in.

I stand corrected. I just took the simplest return, someone who wasn`t even itemizing, and added ltcg`s. First I added a ltcg of $200k and they were subject to amt of about $4800. When I reduced the ltcg to $100k they were no longer subject to amt.

Bottom line is without knowing the particulars for a client it`s hard to know whether they will be subject to amt or not. Work closely with your tax man before selling a large amount of stock so that he can tell you how that sale will affect your taxes on the whole.
