I pay him well enough to get me what deductions I can. It is an income based tax. There is no way around it.

Income, Adjusted Gross Income to be exact, is a dependent variable.

There's no way around it? Damn, you give up easy.

I think you need to re-read my first reply. This time with feeling.

If you are on here asking about end-runs to the AMT then you definitely need a new accountant since it is they who should be advising you how to escape the AMT instead of just delivering it as bad news over which neither of you has any control. BS.

I suggest you learn more about the AMT before you throw stones at my accountant. There is really very little I can do to avoid it. And no making less money is not an option.

The fact that anyone needs an accountant is the problem. Every dollar given to an accountant is no different than more taxes from your pocket as welfare to others who should otherwise be doing something productive.

Meanwhile, those who created the AMT have little idea of what is in tax laws, and do not do their own taxes. First law - all lawmakers must do their own taxes and be subject to a tax review. Guess how quickly the tax law will eliminate tax accountants.

Meanwhile, also spend money for tax software. Government made a deal with tax software companies. The government will not provide tax software. You are expected to pay another tax to tax software companies for their software, for submitting that tax form to the government, etc. because that was the deal offered to tax software companies.

Can that Adobe software 1040 form total up your entries? Yes. But government is not allowed to because of this deal to protect tax software companies.
