## Resource

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The CAMT applies only to corporations with an average annual adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) over $1 billion for a three-year period. - The tax is calculated as 15% of AFSI, which begins with book income from financial statements, not regular taxable income. - A corporation's final tax liability is the greater of its regular tax liability or the tentative minimum tax calculated under the CAMT. - A common exam trap is using a corporation's taxable income as the base for the 15% CAMT calculation instead of its adjusted financial statement income. - Paying the CAMT generates a tax credit that can be carried forward indefinitely to reduce the corporation's regular tax liability in future years.
