Turbotax 8801 line 2

After deleting the form.  Try going back into the "Other Tax Situations" tab and "Start" the AMT topic interview. That should regenerate the form.

I just deleted the 8801 and ran back through the wizard and I now see the numbers I expect, so the fix seems to be working for me.

Thank you to all for the help here.

I'm having the same issue, with 8801 line 25 now showing blank. Please let us know if you hear from Turbotax!

Hi Expert Kurt,

I tried deleting form 8801, which did not change this problem: It is not populating line 25, just showing blank? Any idea how to get this re-amended?

Did you try DMarkM1’s suggestion above?  Try what he advises:

After deleting Form 8801, go into the Other Tax Situations tab and Start the AMT topic interview again. That should regenerate the form and populate the numbers correctly.

I did not delete anything, I just re-launched the program and clicked fix it, and it took me through the questions but didn't change anything.  That still got rejected a couple of times (very quickly) but then it suddenly worked and the return was accepted.  This was about March 7, I think.  None of the dollar amounts changed and as far as I could tell neither did the form.

So I'd like to report another bug on Form 8801 that popped up for my 2022 return.  The Part III section wasn't filling out at all, even though I reported capital gain, resulting in a lower credit carryforward for 2023.  Eventually I moved from the online to the desktop version to try and manually update the field, and found that I could get the form to behave correctly by adding a '0' in the embedded worksheet for 2021 Form 2555 (as shown on line 2a here).

This isn't something you can do in the online version.  I figure the logic on line 11 wasn't operating correctly - those values from Form 2555 don't exist for me as I never filed that form, but TurboTax was looking for a value.

For my 2021 return I also had the bug reported elsewhere where line 28 wasn't populating.  I tried to refile that return with the fix in place with the 2021 TurboTax, and that had the same issue where Part III wasn't populating.  I ended up manually amending that return as I don't have the desktop version for 2021 (I had to sweet talk support to get the 2022 version so I could file my tax).

Hopefully this is helpful for someone, and hopefully that someone has the ability to fix the code for the rest of us 🙂
