Hi, was wondering if the AMT tax is already included in the tax calculation.Towards the end of the federal review I was informed the AMT will be aprox. 21K, but there were no tax changes thereafter... I assume it's because the tax is already factored in t

The return is almost finalized but not yet filed. Thanks.
