You're missing the point. The indexing lacking in AMT is the indexing for INFLATION -- it is NOT fair that a tax originally meant to make sure "rich" folks paid -something- ends up hitting middle-income people, for whom it was NEVER intended, hard. But the gutless weasels in Washington don't have the testicular fortitude to fix it, because it brings in cash. So we get the annual "patches" (to stick another temporary finger in a very leaky dike) that are put in only so they keep from getting run out of their home towns on a rail. And I support the FairTax, not a flat tax. I hear railing every year from Massachusetts taxpayers about the unfairness of the state income tax. I always point out that it's a flat tax.

Very simple. They also ask for corrected forms and schedules to be appended. Many if not most folks trying this on their own will miss that bit. And we'll end up with new clients after their self-prepared 1040X is rejected.

Jeeezel louisel and yikes!!! Very impressive, KC, but this picture (and accompanying story) did -not- make me smile. But I may send it all on to friends who live west of Brisbane.... Catherine

My daughter swears by Photoshop Elements for adjusting photos -- frequently this comes free with your computer, too. And it has tutorials that are actually useful. Catherine

Has anyone here used this? If so, what do you think of it, and are there any "gotchas" I should watch out for? Thanks, Catherine

Many thanks to all! I had a very good day, and we had snow with big, fluffy flakes, all day long that amounted to about an inch on non-paved surfaces only. Catherine

jainen is exactly correct here -- and specifically includes the point he either missed or ignored in a similar post. "Up to the amount of assets", with the additional line of "He got the money -- he owes the tax".
