God bless you my friend. The ES is due on Monday...
AMT is evil, after you pay a very high percentage of your take, pay a very large property tax and don't even use the schools you then are hit with the fact that due to AMT you can't deduct your other taxes paid
Getting back on topic, when you compare your dad's and your check make sure you are not considering deductions other than taxes (apples to apples).
In essence, the system tries to tax everyone similarly but regretfully what actually happens is that the more successful you are the more you pay.
