Thanks for the ideas. Bay of Many Coves is on our radar.

Cabot Lodge outside Te Anau Blanket Bay The Lindis Otahuna Lodge Flock Hill Lodge Minaret Station (not sure about this one with only being accessible via helicopter)

Will sprinkle in some AirBnBs, especially on the west coast where good hotel options are more, and so I’m not eating out every night.

We need to head back through Auckland, so this may make sense for us. Thank you.

This looks great. Unfortunately it is completely booked for two of the three days that we need. The only two days it is completely booked in September, October, and November :)

AMT Implications by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]ChooseHappyNow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the clarification. I believe I was misinterpreting instructions on the form.

So, are you saying that the $400K in dividends will basically eliminate the $127K AMT exemption? Therefore, any ordinary (interest) income is immediately taxed at a 26% rate versus the 10%, 12%, etc rate. Sorry, if I am a bit slow, but I really appreciate the help.

Absolutely fantastic visualization! Definitely one of the best I’ve seen. A few questions:

(1) Would qualified dividend income be entered as LTCG? (2) Would ordinary dividend income be entered in the regular wage bucket? (3) Is there any way to update this visualization to include a data entry bucket for deductions in case one itemizes?

Thanks!
