Millions of taxpayers have been left in the dark about just how much they'll owe the IRS this year thanks to indecision in D.C.
That's because they have yet to decide just what they're going to do about the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). If they end up doing nothing, those 23 million folks will get hit with the "wealth" tax - about 19 million of them for the first time.
