Thanks to some property sales it looks like we're going to get tapped by the AMT fairy's magic money extracting wand. By dint of carefully buying individual stocks at the maximum buzz moments we seem to be holding some stocks which are worth less now than when we bought them. Our tax lady is on vacation, so I'm asking you all about this cunning scheme: Sell the losing stocks to reduce our AGI. Would that reduction in AGI result in a dollar for dollar drop in amount taxed by AMT? I'm also thinking about having the weather 1/2 of a roof replaced on a rental - lost shingles on an old roof - rather than doing the whole thing, thus moving more money into the maintenance column rather than depreciating the cost of an entire replacement.
Any other enhancements to reduce the AMT hit would be appreciated, as well as thoughts on whether the above machinations would be of any effect.
We're pretty much all rental property income and any dollars saved are more likely to go into Wellington than SBUX.
Thanks
