Thank you for your response, but I don't have AMT carryover loss from prior year (2020) to adjust. I have a regular (if you can call that) carryover loss from 2020.

 

AMT has been triggered for 2021 when I entered short term profits for 2021 even when I have a greater regular carryover loss (from 2020). 

 

Instead of bringing the regular carryover loss as it is from 2020, TT is showing a positive number in the field "Net AMT short-term capital gain/loss" which I believe is triggering the AMT. My question is with a straightforward carryover loss from last year which is more than the profit I made this year, why is AMT triggered?
