If you didn't pay any AMT taxes and your return doesn't have form 6251 then why are you looking for a number that doesn't exist ?

Because Turbo Tax Premier is asking me to confirm data it pulled from my 2018 return!

Just to make sure I understand. TurboTax pulled AMT numbers from your 2018 return, but maybe you don't have a copy to verify those numbers? Since it appears you filed using TurboTax last year you should be able to see that return in your account. Either way, TurboTax will pull the numbers that are on the forms for 2018. If you filed with TurboTax and nothing,was carried over then you are good to go.

I have the same issue. I filed by taxes as Married by a financial service company and I am filing as Single this year on Turbo Tax (I divorced last year). I am asked for Form 6251, line 4 Alternative minimum taxable income, I don't have a 6251 from 2021. And should I follow what Turbo Tax advised below to get the AMTI??

"Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR, Line 15, plus your standard deduction (Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR, line 12a) from 2021"?

Yes, you can follow the steps TurboTax is showing to enter information from your 2021 return since you didn't file with TurboTax.

See this TurboTax tips article for more information about the Alternative Minimum Tax and the different income items that can require TurboTax to calculate a separate AMT amount.
