- Well, I suppose it's pretty nasty to get socked with AMT for any
- amount, but on the other hand you're probably not sleeping in the
- streets:^)
-
- Looks like you're stuck. If you took your 91 state tax in 91 that
- would have been good as an afterthought. Or if you realized you were
- going to pay AMT in 92 only in 92, you could have worked out a
- payment plan with the state, so you pay them some interest put less
- than the 24%, for sure. Then paid in full in 93. But now that it's 93,
- I think you're stuck.
-
- (I assume when you say you are subject to AMT you mean you actually
- have to pay AMT -- many people are subject to AMT Calculations but
- the bottom line is no AMT to be paid.)
