The exempt organizations–Is this the one with $5 million in the first year of operations. Less than $7.5 million average in the first two, then less than $7.5 Million in the first 3 average and same for the each set of 3 preceding years?

Corps Exempt from AMT

1) those that made <= $5 M in Gross receipts in Year 1

2) those that made <= $7.5 M avg in Gross receipts in Years 1 and 2

3) those that made <= $7.5 M avg in Gross receipts in prior 3 years… is this right?

Wait – is it less than or equal to, or just less than? – I hope they don't get that tricky in the exam, but just wanted to clarify

I just read in Wiley that all corps are exempt in the first year regardless of income levels. Then they are exempt in year 2 if gross receipts do not exceed $5M in year ONE, and in year 3 if the gross receipts from years 1 and 2 do not exceed an average of $7.5 million, then so on for each prior 3 year periods.

Adjustments–Cannot use installment method so you would subtract the gross profit recognized for regular taxable income to get AMT
