The AMT credit only recovers in years where regular tax exceeds AMT — typically a year with no ISO exercise. Every year in this schedule has bargain element, so AMT exceeds regular tax in every year and the credit carries forward untouched. Try a longer horizon or fewer total shares to introduce a recovery year.

Estimates only. Excludes disqualifying dispositions, NSOs, multi-state moves, and AMT preferences other than ISO bargain elements. Long-term capital gains tax assumes a qualifying disposition (ISO held ≥1 yr from exercise and ≥2 yr from grant); state LTCG follows ordinary brackets except where the state grants preferential treatment (HI, ND, SC, WI, AR, NM) or has a dedicated LTCG-only tax (WA). Assumes you are within the $100K ISO limit (any portion of an annual ISO grant whose FMV at grant exceeds $100K is treated as NSO from the start, §422(d)). State AMT figures are 2025 (next-year values published in late 2026). Not financial advice.
QSBS note. If your shares qualify (typically pre-IPO C-corp grants held 5+ years), a federal rule lets you exclude up to $10M of gain on a future sale from federal tax. That single rule shifts exercise-timing math more than AMT does. (This is §1202 “qualified small-business stock”.) Modeled in beta, not here.
You optimized one grant in isolation. The beta optimizes ISOs alongside your RSUs, NSOs, and stock in one plan.

Equity comp at TEN Holdings, Inc.
- TEN Holdings used IPO completion as a vesting milestone for grants made before its February 2025 NASDAQ debut. This single-trigger IPO event accelerated a significant share of outstanding options (roughly 1.1 million shares vested on the IPO date), producing $3.5 million of stock compensation expense in Q1 2025. The plan covers a broad award menu (options, RSUs, restricted stock, performance awards, and stock appreciation rights) but publicly disclosed grants to date have been stock options rather than RSUs. The plan reserved 4 million shares of common stock after an amendment reduced the original 12.5 million share pool in September 2024.
- Vesting schedule: Initial grants under the 2024 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan used a milestone-plus-time structure: a portion vested upon completion of the IPO in February 2025, with remaining shares subject to a one-year cliff followed by monthly installments. A separate tranche vests in four annual installments from April 15, 2024, with each annual tranche releasing in 20 equal quarterly installments beginning January 26, 2025..

TEN Holdings, Inc. equity questions
- How much alternative minimum tax (AMT) will I owe exercising TEN Holdings, Inc. ISOs?
- Exercising incentive stock options (ISOs) does not create regular income tax, but the bargain element (the fair market value at exercise minus your strike price) counts toward the alternative minimum tax (AMT). The amount depends on the bargain element, your other income, your filing status, and your state. The calculator above models federal and state AMT, the AMT crossover point, and how the credit recovers in later years for your exact TEN Holdings, Inc. figures.
- Does TEN Holdings, Inc. grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at TEN Holdings, Inc. typically takes the form of incentive stock options (ISOs), non-qualified stock options (NSOs), and restricted stock units (RSUs). Incentive stock options can trigger the alternative minimum tax (AMT) when you exercise. Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- When did the TEN Holdings, Inc. IPO lockup expire?
- TEN Holdings, Inc. (XHLD) went public on February 13, 2025. The standard post-IPO lockup runs 180 days, so employee and insider shares generally became sellable around August 12, 2025. Confirm against your own grant paperwork, since some lockups release early or in stages.
