The reality, I think, is that the AMT problem may bite you. You can never legally pay less taxes than the AMT system requires -- no matter how many tax credits or deductions you have or qualify for. So many people hit the limit just trying to claim it for 1 car -- it's doubtful that you'd be able to claim much (if any) for a 2nd vehicle.
Yes, I told them the car was totaled and out of service and paid for by Geico. I am not familiar with the AMT as I stated earlier I don't prepare my own taxes. I'll just keep my fingers crossed, that $4400.00 would cut my Escape loan almost in half.
