    IRS Form 6251 is used to calculate your Alternative Minimum Tax which is a way for certain taxpayers that have certain type of income such as investment income to qualify for more favorable treatment. 

    Assuming that you are referring to a capital loss carryover, you will use Schedule D which will generate a Capital Loss Carryover Worksheet to determine your carryover loss.
