re: Math lesson from the money/political boards

quote:

---

you are limited to 50% of your income so unless his AGI was 40M for the year he can't deduct it all this year

---

If it's an 8 year buy-out, then that's 2.5M per year, so his AGI would need to be 5M per year. Also, the rest can be carried forward.

Also, my point wasn't that 1 person could afford to pay it all, but that if there was a group of people putting up the money, the total buy-out is highly reduced by the tax benefit.
