How the Corporate AMT Quietly Reshapes Tax Planning in 2026

The corporate alternative minimum tax, introduced in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, was supposed to hit only a few dozen of the largest companies. By mid-2026, it has quietly expanded its reach, affecting firms with average annual profits above $1 billion. Lucas and Luna break down how the AMT works, why the IRS issued clarifying guidance in March 2026, and how companies are adjusting their tax strategies — from accelerating depreciation to restructuring deferred tax assets. They also discuss the political debate over expanding the AMT to smaller firms and what it means for corporate cash flow. A focused look at a provision that is reshaping the tax landscape for America's largest corporations. #CorporateAMT #AlternativeMinimumTax #InflationReductionAct #TaxPlanning #DeferredTaxAssets #IRS #TaxCutsAndJobsAct #BookIncome #FiscalPolicy #CorporateTax #TaxStrategy #Lobbying #Congress #TaxReform #Economics #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #TaxPolicy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
