I have been scouring the Net looking for an authoritative answer to this question and posted the question in several forums. So far nothing I consider authoritative.
You have to be really careful with things like this. Just because someone on the Net says something doesn't mean is correct.
A few months ago I read an article from TurboTax posted on their site, written by someone they titled an "Expert" AND it was also noted that it had been reviewed for accuracy by a CPA. But it was still materially inaccurate. So the best way to go is to get multiple authoritative sources. But I have a feeling that may require input from a tax attorney on this one.
I also have a question in to my CPA regarding whether NY exempts the AMD. If he answers soon, I will post his response here.
