Sure, you can use standard tax software to est whether you will be in AMT. I would assume a turbo tax-type suite would do it for you, as I know they also do est tax payments and other basic tax planning. If not turbo tax, then maybe one of the other ones.

Why would you pre-pay tithing and why pre-paying it put you in AMT?

One option you may want to explore is to have your employer pay you in breadfruit. The IRS doesnt tax that.
