I was subject to AMT's for years when I worked. It was a fact of life then. but I've been retired for years now, and felt they were in my past.

But now that my wife is subject to RMD's, coupled with a potentially large capital gain distribution from a mutual fund, may be subject to it again.

Do the estimated tax calculations within TT factor in the possibility of AMT's into their calculations?
