- 2 - is not reviewable by any other court, and this opinion should not be cited as authority. Respondent determined a deficiency in petitioners’ Federal income tax for the taxable year 2002 of $2,747. The deficiency is attributable solely to the alternative minimum tax (AMT) prescribed by section 55. The only issue for decision is whether petitioners are liable for the AMT as determined by respondent in the notice of deficiency. We hold that they are. Background The parties submitted this case fully stipulated pursuant to Rule 122, and the stipulated facts are so found. At the time that the petition was filed, petitioners resided in Buena Park, California. Petitioners timely filed a joint Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, for 2002. On their return, petitioners claimed two exemptions for themselves, which served to decrease their taxable income by $6,000. In addition, petitioners itemized their deductions on Schedule A, Itemized Deductions, for the following expenses: (1) Medical and dental expenses (in excess of 7.5 percent of petitioners’ adjusted gross income) of $1,079; (2) State and local income taxes of $603; (3) charitable contributions of $200; and (4) miscellaneous deductions (in excess of 2 percent of petitioners’ adjusted gross income) ofPage: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Next
