Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) – How It Affects Filing Season 2008

Taxpayers can now file tax returns that include the five forms delayed by recent legislation pertaining to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).

The forms are:

  • Form 8863, Education Credits
  • Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits
  • Schedule 2, Form 1040A, Child and Dependent Care Expenses for Form 1040A Filers
  • Form 8396, Mortgage Interest Credit
  • Form 8859, District of Columbia First-Time Homebuyer Credit
For the vast majority of taxpayers, the filing season this year began on time. However, as many as 13.5 million taxpayers who need to file the five forms listed above had to wait until Feb. 11 to begin filing those returns.

Additional Information on the Alternative Minimum Tax

What is the AMT? The AMT came into being with the Tax Reform Act of 1969. Its purpose was to target a small number of high-income taxpayers who could claim so many deductions they owed little or no income tax. A growing number of middle-income taxpayers are discovering they are subject to the AMT.
