The reconciliation of taxable income to AMTI is accomplished by entering reconciling items to account for differences between regular income tax provisions and AMT provisions. These reconciling items are referred to as AMT adjustments or tax preferences. Most adjustments relate to timing differences that arise because of separate regular income tax and AMT treatments.
