Credit for AMT Paid in Prior Year says that it needs review. But after reviewing my deduction is not added, it just goes back to saying that it needs review. Why?

I should get a $56 deduction (yay..) but it just gets stuck instead.

You must have an AMT carryover to claim the credit for AMT paid in a prior year. Please review your return from last year and your entries for this year. See Instructions for Form 6251 page 1.

I don't think this is an issue of having carryover. It appears to be a bug in the software.

To look into this further and submit it to the appropriate team for possible correction, it would be beneficial to have a diagnostic copy of an actual user's tax return in order for the change to be considered. You can help by providing that diagnostic tax file.

The diagnostic file will not contain personally identifiable information, only numbers related to your tax forms. If you would like to provide us with the diagnostic file, follow the instructions below and post the token number along with which version of TurboTax you are using and what state you are filing 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.

I'm having the same problem. I have carryover from last year. The review screen says "Congrats, you get a tax break!" I click "Done", and the previous screen continues to say "NEEDS REVIEW".
