Corporations Overpay AMT by $11,000: A Costly Oversight

Is your corporation paying the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)? There's a 93% chance you're overpaying by about $11,000 annually, according to the Treasury Inspector General.

Article

Many corporations are unknowingly shelling out more in taxes by failing to claim an AMT exemption. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, established in 1999 to oversee the IRS, highlights inefficiencies and inaccuracies in tax collection, revealing significant overpayments by businesses.

Initially enacted in the late 1990s, the AMT posed a heavy burden on small businesses due to its complexity and confusing paperwork. To alleviate this, an amendment exempting small businesses from the AMT was added via Section 55(e) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Small business corporations can qualify for an AMT exemption if their gross revenues average $5 million or less during their first three years. They can continue to claim this exemption if revenues remain under $7.5 million for each subsequent three-year period.

Shockingly, 93% of eligible small business corporations fail to claim this exemption, leading to overpayments averaging $11,638 annually. Since the IRS isn’t obligated to notify businesses of these overpayments, many remain unaware and miss out on potential refunds.

Businesses can file amended tax returns for the past three years. If your company overlooked the AMT exemption, you could be entitled to refunds for 2001, 2002, and 2003, potentially totaling over $33,000.
