Just a heads up since the tax year is coming to a close. With the idiots in congress (both sides/none excluded) getting ready for another monumental pissing contest, the annual 'patch' might not get passed.
Whether by design or neglect, which will be irrelavant to almost 40 million new victims of this insidious tax, if congress fails to act, this so-called 'fiscal cliff' bomb will hit the middleclass dead center. If you are unaware or unfamiliar with the AMT, do your homework now. The threshold is 75k now, I think. Not indexed to inflation, no deductions etc. I am not a CPA. Not offering advice. Just a caution.
