Yes. Form 8801 is available. Please click on the link for the Forms availability list if you have other forms you would like to check.

For more information about the Alternative Minimum Tax in 2019, click the link. When you have owed AMT in prior years, but you do not owe AMT in the current year, you may be eligible for a credit, which is calculated on Form 8801.

Hi - My turbotax home & business desktop keeps telling me Forms 6251 & 8801 are not ready

IRS says they are ready, so when can we expect them from TurboTax?

Thanks in advance for any information you have

Please review the IRS forms availability for the Turbo Tax software. Currently it shows form 8801 as being finalized on 3/17/22 and 6251 on 2/25/22 @mikeyg1234.

I have not received any updates regarding forms 6251 and 8801. They have been released and they are the only holding up my filing returns for IRS and New Jersey State

I already know that and have a significant carry over. Why aren't the forms available on Turbo tax

The IRS is still finalizing some of their forms and because states depend on the information in the federal return, they often have a delay in some forms at the beginning of the tax season. After they finalize, of course, TurboTax needs to integrate the changes.

Here is a link where you can see estimates for dates particular federal forms will be ready. Form 8801 Credit for Prior Year Minimum Tax is currently expected March 17th. If there is a state form based on the federal, that might take a little longer. Form 6251 should be available by Feb 25th.

IRS Forms Available Estimates

For state forms, select the type of TurboTax you are using and your state, to see when forms are expected. The dates may still change and this link will be updated.

Form 8801 is not available until 3/17/22. Is this an IRS delay or Turbotax?

Re: Has the Form 8801 update been released?

Additional time is needed to implement the updated forms into the software once they are released by the IRS to ensure returns are calculating everything correctly.

Form 8801 is available at irs.com, now. TurboTax' support says 'it takes a couple of days' for TurboTax to incorporate IRS forms. How is the statement in TurboTax that Form 8801 will not be available in TurboTax until 3/17/2022 consistent with that statement? It's more than just an inconvenience to me that I must wait this long for a form already issued by the IRS. Intuit has really dropped the ball this year. Very disappointing.

The form has to be formatted, which can take some time to do. We apologize for the inconvenience. @41BR

I'm a little confused. TT now says Form 8801 will be available 3/10/22. But in that section of my return the carryover has already been calculated, in my case about $6000. Will this just be confirmed when Form 8801 is released, or might the carryover amount change?

Re: Has the Form 8801 update been released?

Form 8801 will be released only when it is fully incorporated into the program and calculated as directed by the IRS to ensure your tax return is computed correctly. As far as the carryover amount, we can't say anything about that, as we can't see your return and there could be something else going on.

I would just suggest waiting for the form to become available and then, if something looks off at that time, you are welcome to come back here and let us know and we could lead you in the right direction for assistance.

I have the same problem here. Turbo tax calculated the AMT carryover but the 8801 form is still not filled up and it supposed to be ready 3/11. What 一is wrong？

Re: Has the Form 8801 update been released?

@manyyear

That form is showing available now. Please see the TurboTax FAQ here for form dates and availability.

I think there is a mistake with Form 8801. Part III line 28 is not calculating the figure needed for this line.

It was working a week ago but it looks like with the most recent update there is now a mistake and no number is being input onto line 28.

Please fix this bug.

There is definitely a glitch with form 8801. Mine wasn't working since installed . Last year I was asked a couple questions to generate the form . This year after I import W2 it automatically calculated the amt carryover credit but the form wasn't filled up at all . And the smart check can't detect the problem. The weird thing is I can't do step by step it just has a“congratulations you got a amt carryover credit" on the screen. Don't know if the turbo tax experts could notice this bug and fix it.

Try going through it in Step by Step mode. Search for amt and use the Jump to amt to get to that section in interview mode.

Complete Form 8801 if you are an individual, estate, or trust that for 2020 had:

An AMT liability and adjustments or preferences other than exclusion items,
A credit carryforward to 2021 (on 2020 Form 8801, line 26), or
An disallowed qualified electric vehicle credit (see the instructions for line 20).

File Form 8801 only if line 21 is more than zero.

I did try to it in step by step mood . Found the amt and jump to amt section but all I got is " congratulations ,you get a tax break "and the amount of amt tax credit. And the left lower corner is back button and right lower corner is done button. No interview mood at all.
