I’m not sure I follow what you said. Here’s what I know about amt
1) When exercising and holding ISOs there is an AMT adjustment for the difference between my strike price and the market value for when I exercised. I have documentation from my employer with a field called “AMT” adjustment that is non-neglible
2) I know that given the adjustment there is a calculation in which my taxable income is added to the adjustment, the amt exemption is subtracted, some rate is multiplied, and if that final value is greater than my current tax calculation, I’ve triggered AMT and must pay that value. I tried to do a quick calculation myself but ran into some confusion on my income and the rates. Turbo Tax seems to be claiming to do this calculation but I don’t see the work shown and the AMT adjustment is absent.
3) Several of my coworkers who exercised and held triggered amt last year because the difference between their strike and the current market value was very high
4) If I jokingly said the AMT adjustment was 10 million, that should without fail trigger AMT and the fact that it is not indicates either a bug in the software or that these fields are not clear to the user and therefore also a bad user experience.
TLDR; I know enough about AMT to know that it could be triggered by this adjustment and the fact that I can’t even see the calculation take the adjustment into account is worrying and makes me think the software has an issue
