The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) is a separate tax assessed on certain types of income and deductions. It is "an extra tax some people have to pay on top of the regular income tax."Fairmark: Alternative Minimum Tax 101
Essentially, the AMT system uses an alternative set of rules to creates a taxable income figure. If your regular income tax figure is lower, AMT can be levied and the taxpayer will have to make up the difference. In this sense, it is not an "alternative" for the tax payer, it just uses different rules to calculate taxable income.Fairmark: Alternative Minimum Tax 101
