Answer:

Taxpayers must choose whether they will claim the exemption or itemize deductions. FALSE

Explanation:

"The AMT exemption functions something like a standard deduction for the alternative minimum tax. In lieu of all the deductions and other adjustments that are taken away when calculating AMTI, taxpayers can reduce their AMT income by claiming the exemption amount for their filing status instead. Basically, if your income exceeds the exemption amount for your filing status, you're subject to the AMT. The AMT is then calculated on what's left over after the exemption has been subtracted. "
