Well I must commend you for your honesty. Most students try to disguise their assignment as a personal tax problem in the hopes that someone in this forum will give them the answer without them having to do that dirty, filthy, unspeakable four-letter word and actually *W*O*R*K* for the answer themselves. Generally, we can pick the cheaters out like a lighthouse on Cape Cod in clear weather. You strike me as one not just willing to do the work, but desiring to do the work because you recognize the fact that you will better remember those things you have to work for, much longer than you remember those things given to you.
Start with Tax Topic 556 on the IRS website at https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc556.html for the basic (very basic) math formula on this. Then do a google search on "How to figure the alternative minimum tax" and I'm confident you'll not only have the knowledge you need within the hour, but you'll actually understand it too.
