This 100%.
If breh makes a total profit of $5, the IRS won't be looking for you.
If AMC does what we are expecting and people cash out.....you definitely want to account for that on your taxes. Probably OK if it's under $1,000. Every $1k you go up.....the more you gotta consider including the capital gains on your taxes.
The brehs in here with 300, 500 or 1000+ shares of AMC definitely need to get ready for a nice tax bill.
As an example, I used an online calculator that assumed I made $2.2 million off AMC + DOGE. Input my annual income from work and the tax bill was about $513k.
I'm in TX though so it could be a bit higher for other folks.
Someone earlier said put about 30% of the profits away for taxes. That's a great idea tbh.
