This sounds a bit like smoke. Corporations get taken to task for using all deductions approved by the IRS to lower their reported income and pay less tax. Raising the tax rate will not change the way they do deductions to reduce income.

You’re wrong. And you don’t even know the issue, I don’t think. This is a corporate AMT. they didn’t raise corporate income tax rates. They remain at 21%. They added a minimum of a 15% tax on book income. It absolutely will increase the tax liability for many corporations.

Any company with undepreciated capital assets is going to get creamed by this.

Not only will it increase their current liability, it will GREATLY discourage them from future CAPEX. It's one of the dumbest things Democrats have done in a long time. And that is saying something.

AMT works with individuals because reported income is by third parties through w-2's , 1099's etc.

AMT will not work with corporations because they generate their own profit/loss statements.

Republicans better fix this at their first opportunity. We're going to see a huge drop in CAPEX until then. Wonder how many cancellation analysis requests I'm going get on Monday.

"How much would it cost to just shut it all down"?

yikes dude. There is just a profound misunderstanding here of book income, corporate amt, and taxes in general. I don’t even know where to start. I’m not going to spend the massive amount of time it would take to educate you. I mean you called a deduction a way to “hide” income. That’s such a basic misunderstanding of taxation. It’s ok to admit you don’t know what you’re talking about.

It's really hard to understand how anyone would want to put long term capital in this country right now.

Watch what democrats start crying about next. Up next: an exit tax. They're going to need it.

Yep. Estate tax and step up will be mentioned as well. Though eliminating the step up would screw over way too many middle class families. They couldn’t call it a tax on just the rich.

"Goodwill" is an annual report item that is pretty fragrantly utilized to balance the income statements. Until the IRS works that issue , there will not be much in the way of earned income to tax. Raising the corp min tax is smoke

You’ve got a lot of experience with calculating book income? You aware of the differences in depreciation tables for taxable income vs amt calculations? You aware of any of the hundreds of other factors that go into financial reporting? Yeah, a firm that does 200k will be able to play with their numbers. Anyone bigger won’t.
