After you file

If you are looking at Form 6251, line 11 is at the very bottom of the page under Part II. It has AMT in bold print on the left side of the page next to the number. This would not be on the 6251 worksheet, it would be on the actual Form 6251. 

 

If you cannot find line 11 on Form 6251, you can also look at Line 45 of Schedule 2 (Form 1040.) If you cannot find a Schedule 2 or there is not an amount listed on line 45, then you did not pay any "Alternative Minimum Tax" or AMT.


If you can only find the 6251 worksheet, you may have not been subject to "Alternative Minimum Tax" (AMT) and that would explain why you did not have the form in your tax return.
