If your deductions exceed a certain percentage of your income when you earn greater than a certain fixed number in your gross, you are dead meat because the AMT kicks in instead.

If you are in farming like I am, I will be it's victim in 2005. I plan on not purchasing the $5,000 of seed to plant, the $6,000 fertilizer, and idling my paid for equipment as well as return leased equipment.

On a good year farming, income might be 10% of expenses.

This will force me to rent my broken ground to a corporate grain interest, cull most of my livestock, and wait until tax laws change before farming resumes.

Another big government tatic.
When doing tax cuts bury all kinds
things in the build that will effect
take away much of the tax benefits.

And when increasing taxes bury in all
all kinds of things that will make
the increase even bigger.
