How can I avoid paying alternative minimum tax?

Reduce your Taxable Income. One of the easiest ways to reduce your income and reduce or eliminate AMT is to max out your 401(k) plan. With a 401(k) plan, you can contribute up to $20,500 in 2022 (under 50 years old), so it would make sense to max out your 401(k) to reduce your income and possibly eliminate AMT payable.
