### Example Problem on Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) and Alternative Minimum Taxable Income (AMTI) Calculation**Problem Statement:**Otto and Monica are married taxpayers who file a joint tax return. For the current tax year, they have an AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) of $130,800. They have excess depreciation on real estate of $78,480, which must be added back to AGI to arrive at AMTI (Alternative Minimum Taxable Income). The amount of their mortgage interest expense for the year was $26,160, and they made charitable contributions of $13,080. They have no other itemized deductions.**Question:**If Otto and Monica's taxable income for the current year is $91,560, determine the amount of their AMTI.**Solution:**1. **Initial Calculation:** Start with the AGI: \[ \text{AGI} = \$130,800 \]2. **Add Back Depreciation:** Add the excess depreciation: \[ \text{Excess Depreciation} = \$78,480 \] \[ \text{AGI} + \text{Excess Depreciation} = \$130,800 + \$78,480 = \$209,280 \]3. **Subtract Itemized Deductions:** Subtract the deductible expenses: \[ \text{Mortgage Interest} = \$26,160 \] \[ \text{Charitable Contributions} = \$13,080 \] \[ \text{Total Deductions} = \$26,160 + \$13,080 = \$39,240 \] \[ \text{Adjusted AMTI} = \$209,280 - \$39,240 = \$170,040 \]**Result:**The calculated AMTI for Otto and Monica is:\[\boxed{170,040}\]However, the provided solution box shows:\[\boxed{117,720}\]and it appears marked incorrect. Based on the steps and details provided, our calculated AMTI value is $\boxed{170,040}$. Therefore, the provided answer seems to have an error.
