Alternative minimum tax exemptions. We all know about the hidden tax code within the tax code. In fact, there’s multiple ones, but AMT tax can be a sneaky one. In this one, they’ve increased the tax up to $85,700. So you won’t most likely start paying AMT tax until you hit $85,700. And that’s the beginning and it phases out at $600,000. For married couples, it starts at $133,300 in the year of 2024. This can be a sneaky one, and if you’re not sure if you’re going to have to pay AMT, you need to call my office at 615-367-0819.
