Notes:               Under "alternative minimum tax" (AMT), generally high-income taxpayers
                     to whom the tax applied were required to pay the larger of the regular
                     income tax or the AMT. As of 2013, examples of preferences or
                     adjustments subject to recapture through the AMT were accelerated
                     depreciation, incentive stock options, certain itemized deductions,
                     personal exemptions, certain tax-exempt interest, and income loss from
                     tax-shelter farm or "passive" investment activities. AMT is shown
                     separately in the statistics for all years. However, starting with
                     2000, AMT is also included in "income tax before credits," as well as
                     in "income tax after credits" and "total income tax." Previously, AMT
                     was only included in "total income tax."
