Another way to get killed on options-related taxes:

In short, it appears that, if you exercised the options to purchase stock, you may be subject to Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) at 26 or 28% on the equivalent amount as assessed on the date of exercise, even though the shares purchased have long since lost much if not most if not all of the assessed value. The article left me unclear, however, as to the threshold above which AMT kicks in, and, more important for our purposes, how widespread the predicament described actually is.
