Yep me to. Also didn't qualify for that great Bush check (make too
much), also didn't get to deduct most of my deductions because AMT
just backed them out. Then there's the California state income taxes.
The next time someone asks where I work I'm going to say I work for
the IRS because it feels like that's where my money goes.

Its funny that they have this long 1040 and all the docs that go with
it and in the end you just end up paying whatever the AMT form says.
Why do they bother with all the other crap?

Isn't that the truth!
My tax return measured 7/16" thick... it could have done on a post card.
The first sentence saying "Hey sucker, you didn't qualify for any deductions
last year, if you think you do this year, you have to prove it"
The second sentence the formula for the tax. Gross - real estate taxes
paid - unreimbursed business expenses x .3 -estimates paid = tax you owe or
refund.
