***To clarify: I can (now, with the help of the internet) follow the TT calculations on form 6251. What I cannot reconcile is that according to the IRS 2017 1040 instructions "Worksheet To See if You Should Fill in Form 6251—Line 45", I did NOT owe AMT in 2017 and should *not* have filled out a Form 6251. Why then did TT decide Form 6251 was necessary for me (and it resulted in AMT owed)?
