Does the AMT credit expire?

AMT credits carry forward indefinitely, meaning they do not expire. However, they cannot be carried backward to offset prior-year taxes. A taxpayers regular tax liability must exceed their AMT liability in a future year to use an AMT credit.

How do AMT tax credits work?

The AMT credit allows you to offset your eventual capital gain when you sell those stocks by applying your previously paid AMT against your capital gains tax.

How many years of AMT credit can be carried forward?

If the AMT paid in any financial year is higher than the regular tax payable, the excess amount paid as AMT can be carried forward as AMT credit. The AMT credit can be carried forward and set off against the regular tax liability in subsequent years. The carryforward period for AMT credit is up to 15 assessment years.
