alternative minimum tax
The AMT is specifically designed to limit the benefit of certain deductions and exemptions for high‑income taxpayers, recalculating tax under a different set of rules so wealthy filers still owe at least a minimum amount. Withholding, sales tax, and "earned‑income" items don't serve that function.
