Since you have never needed to pay AMT, you are correct, the number being pulled into 2019 is not applicable. If it cannot be deleted or the amount otherwise declined, you have mainly three options.
Option 1: Delete Form 6251 by following these steps:
- From the left menu, select Tax Tools
- Tools
- Delete a form
- Scroll to Form 6251 and confirm you want to delete it
- Continue on with your 2019 tax filings
Option 2: Re-do 2019 completely
Option 3: Please post here if the problem persists. If you send us a ".tax2019" file, we can dig deeper into the issue. By sending us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information, we can see more specifically what is happening on your return. If you would like to do this, here are the instructions:
On your menu bar at the very top, click “Online” and then “Send Tax File to Agent”. When you click to send, you will get a pop-up with a token number. Reply with the token number and I’ll be able to open a TurboTax Business file with your numbers but not your personal information. That may help diagnose the issue.
Thank you for being a legacy customer with TurboTax! We are happy to help.
