AMT. It's also something to do with 'are affected now' (by the AMT) vs. a 'will be affected' category

Unless the laws change, apparently I will be in latter category (I will be affected by it), and I don't know in advance to what extent.

For 2005 taxes though (where our (married/filing jointly) ltcg far exceeded salary and dividend income), I skated by.

I have to go with the tax-preparer for now. Assuming a reasonable number of his clientele are people who have large ltcg, and assuming he (like most normal people/accountants) plugs numbers into a tax computer program, if the computer program says very few of these clients have to pay the AMT, then I have to assume that FOR NOW, you might in the minority of this class who do fall into it. In future though, as that site indicates, and as I suspect, apparently more and more of us will be joining you. (Well, if we're fortunate enough to have large ltcg then.)
