One problem, though. Inflation and across-the-board wage growth mean that increasing numbers of middle-class Americans are getting hit by the AMT. According to financial services firm Fidelity, 19,000 households paid the AMT in 1970. 2.4 million did in 2003. 3.8 million will pay the AMT in 2005. Within 5 years, without changes to the AMT, more than 30 million taxpayers could face the AMT. Who pays the alternative minimum tax?
