My point is that instead amplify 5V to 12V you change resistors between VSS input pin and microprocessor (input to atmega can be 0-5V)

Changing resistor won't help if signal is below 5V, there is a Zener diode cutting the signal at this level, and resistor is cutting the current not voltage . So you need to amplify the signal.
