Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi @GeorgeM777, thank you for the reply! I understand I'm subject to CA's AMT and I did fill out the ISO exercise information when working on my federal tax. For this specific question in the CA tax section: "Enter other incentive stock options — If you excluded any California stock options (CQSO) proceeds from your income, enter the amount for alternative minimum tax purposes.", isn't this about ISO options other than the ones I've entered previously in the "ISO exercise and hold" survey under federal tax? Also, it looks like it's specifically targeting CQSO which has a very specific tax implication and doesn't apply to my situation. 

 

Could you help clarify the intention of this question a bit and if my interpretation aligns with your understanding?
