What to enter for Line 35 in Form 6251 if missing in 2017 tax return?

In the section "Tell us about your 2017 tax return", because my 2017 return includes Form 6251, it asks to enter the amount listed in Form 6251, Line 35. However, I don't see Line 35 in Form 6251 in my tax return from last year.


I used TurboTax last year, so I'm not sure. In the tax return from last year's turbotax, I see form 1040 but not 1040A. But I do see a value entered under "Enter federal adjusted gross income from Form 1040, line 37; 1040A, line 21; or 1040EZ, line 4"


What should I enter for this?

The line 35 on Form 6251 is transferred to the 2017 1040, page 2 line 45.  So you can find the number on the 1040.
