From what I have read about possible/pending/threatened/whatever changes to the AMT level, I want to be able to stay below that threshold, as I currently am.

What have you been reading where? It was like losing an old friend when they permanently fixed the previously annual AMT problem as part of the "cliff" legislation.

I must confess that I have read so many what if scenarios regarding the 'cliff' that I have reached information overload. I didn't even know it had been permanently fixed, I thought they had just extended the deadline.
