Chapter 12, Problem 39P
Christopher regularly invests in internet company stocks, hoping to become wealthy by making an early investment in the next high-tech phenomenon. In 2012, Christopher purchased 3,000 shares of FlicksNet, a film rental company, for $15 per share shortly after the company went public. Because Christopher purchased the shares in their initial offering, the shares are qualified small business stock.
In 2019, Christopher sold 800 of the shares (at $325 per share) so that he could purchase a reservation for a seat on 1-lon Musk’s first human mission to Mars. What regular income tax consequences and AMT consequences arise for Christopher as a result of the sale of these shares?
