The Alternative Minimum Tax...

[MRT144]

It's just hard for me to imagine getting married and divorced to the same person, potentially numerous times, for the sole benefit of taxes. And especially doing so with the other person being totally down with it.

4.7% of agi is minor? It's half of what my rent costs.

I'm sure you'll be able to find myriad ways to spend the after tax 300-350k on yourselves.

[a.kitman]

yes that is minor if it could have a negative on you and your wifes relationship. if your sure it wont then knock yourself out.

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

You must get confused a lot.

Pat, Pat. You're so cute when you think you're clever.

My chief source of confusion seems to be why people find the likes of Oerdin et.al. a credible source.

I don't trust any of you people. You're all a bunch of liars.

Really? Because your last post indicated that you were confused by Oerdin misspelling AMT as ATM. It had nothing to do with what other people think of Oerdin. I suppose you might have not actually been confused and were only making an attempt at being clever.

Really? Because my implicit point (one you clearly haven't the capacity to understand, hence another instance of my confusion) was that Oerdin mangles everything including a simple transposition of AMT and ATM and as such should be dismissed out of hand. I could go on to state how he completely mangled the marginal tax rate deduction discussion as well but KH is having a ball with that one himself.

[Wezil]

But you can't trust KH either. He's just looking for an excuse to divorce his wife.

He does that frequently, tries to take obvious small errors which can easily be understood in the context of the whole post and instead tries to make a mountain out of every mole hill. But I guess it some how makes Ogie feel better about his life so who am I to not help him feel better about his life if he's so sad about it?

No, KH stopped because he knew I had gotten it right and he'd simply missed the post where I explained myself. That's why I posted it a second time. As usual you just jump in after the fact and try to cheer lead without actually contributing anything new to the conversation but I guess that's always been you're style. If anything DinoDoc does your schtick better because he can at least condenses his condescension into a one liner while it takes you a whole paragraph to say the same.

Strangely enough the only other person arguing with Oerdin in this thread is another ******* like yourself who, according to you, is "having a ball". Makes me wonder who you're addressing with this revelation that you think Oerdin is too stupid to discuss the tax code with.

[MRT144]

Anyway...let's discuss the much more interesting issue of KH's marriage and the madcap schemes he may employ to save money.

[Wezil]

Is his wife American? Can you deport him when they divorce?

[Aeson]

KH, you should build a website dedicated to divorce for tax purposes. Put up some videos of you and your wife having "the conversation". Invite others to upload their own videos of their version of "the conversation". Sell an E-Book of how to have "the conversation" successfully if your's goes well, sell an e-Book of things to avoid in "the conversation" if your's goes badly.

Then in the sidebar sell ad space to divorce lawyers.

You'll be making so much money that it won't even matter anymore... you'll be on Oprah within 3 months promoting your book deal. You'll be the face of a generation... Newt will surge ahead in the polling. You might even get a cabinet position out of it.
