          Revenue Code in effect for the year in issue, and all Rule                  
          references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure.            
               Respondent determined that petitioners are liable for a                
          deficiency in Federal income tax of $7,364 for the 2003 taxable             
          year.  The issue for decision is whether, in the context of                 
          respondent’s motion for summary judgment, petitioners are liable            
          for the alternative minimum tax (sometimes referred to as AMT)              
          for the 2003 taxable year.                                                  
                                     Background                                       
               At the time the petition was filed petitioners resided in              
          Concord, California.                                                        
               Petitioners timely filed a Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income           
          Tax Return, for the 2003 taxable year (2003 income tax return).             
          Petitioners reported wages of $323,498.  Petitioners claimed                
          personal exemptions for themselves.  Some of petitioners’ claimed           
          itemized deductions on Schedule A were as follows:                          
               State and local income taxes            $39,189                        
               Real estate taxes                            4,935                     
               Personal property taxes                      230                       
          On line 40 of Form 1040, petitioners reported taxable income of             
          $270,521, and on line 41 of Form 1040, petitioners reported a tax           
          of $70,717.  Petitioners did not report an AMT on their 2003                
          income tax return.
