I pre-purchased my ISO unvested options before the company went public. The company now has gone public and I am planning to leave the company at my first year anniversary date (before end of this year). Do I have to pay AMT tax for all purchased options or only for the first year vested amount (25%)?
Thanks

Hello Albert,
If your unvested shares are surrendered before the end of 2000, you won’t have to pay AMT for them.
Good luck!
