I have experienced the same problem as bo651, and have asked the same question without solution. Responses to date have told me how to check how AMT is calculated - that's not the question. The question is "Why doesn't the Fed Tax Due box change after AMT is calculated?" Please somebody, anybody, respond with advice on what to do. I'm afraid when I file for extension, the amount paid will be in error, resulting in my receiving penalties and interest, and requiring me to bill TurboTax!!!!!
