TurboTax Online always shows "Needs Review" next to "Credit for AMT Paid in Prior Year" row under Deductions & Credits. I click on "Review" and it shows me one screen that says there is a credit of some number of dollars. I click done and the "Credit for AMT Paid in Prior Year" still says "Needs Review". I am not prompted to enter any information for the "Credit for AMT Paid in Prior Year". The credit shown also appears like it may be missing the appropriate AMT foreign income credit amount but there is nothing presented to me to verify other than the one top level number. Is this functionality broken? It definitely shouldn't always show "Needs Review".

You are correct; it should not continuously show that message. Go ahead and scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Continue. The Needs Review message will NOT prevent e-file. Before you file the return(s), TurboTax will take you through a Complete Check and will flag any errors that will prevent e-filing then.
You can continuing preparing your returns and ignore the needs review messages. If there are any errors on the return, the Complete Check in the final review section will prompt you to make changes before submitting the return(s).
Thanks! Yes I previously continue through the Complete Check and no errors were found and the stated prior year AMT credit appeared to be applied to the final tax owed. However, as I mentioned, I am a little worried the foreign income taxes paid from the previous year is not being handled correctly in calculating the credit and the fact that I was never prompted to review any information and the fact that the "Needs Review" kept appearing makes me wonder if the functionality is working correctly. Was hoping tech support would confirm the functionality is working correctly.
