Deductions & credits

You mentioned that there is no Form 6251 for Alternative Minimum Tax included with your return.  However, there is a tentative AMT number that is calculated in the background and will be shown on Form 8911 where the Alternative Vehicle Refueling Property Credit is calculated.  

 

Take a look at Form 8911, lines 16, 17, and 18.  If line 17 is greater than line 16, then your credit is disallowed.  

 

If you find that this is not the problem and you need further assistance to understand why the credit is being disallowed, you can provide us with a diagnostic copy of your tax file.  The diagnostic file will not contain personally identifiable information, only numbers related to your tax forms.  To do so, follow the instructions below and post the token number along with which version of TurboTax you are using in a follow-up thread.

 

Use these steps if you are using TurboTax Online:

  • Sign in to your account and be sure you are in your tax return.
  • Select Tax Tools in the menu to the left.
  • Select Tools.
  • Select Share my file with agent.
  • A pop-up message will appear, select OK to send the sanitized diagnostic copy to us.
  • Post the token number here. 

 

If you are using a CD/downloaded version of TurboTax, use these steps:

  • Select Online at the top of the screen.
  • Select Send Tax File to Agent.
  • Click OK.
  • Post the token number here.
