Incomes above the annual AMT exemption amounts typically trigger the alternative minimum tax. AMT payers, who typically have relatively high incomes, essentially calculate their income tax twice \u2014 under regular tax rules and under the stricter AMT rules \u2014 and then pay the higher amount owed.
Form 6251 is used by taxpayers to calculate their AMT or to determine if they are subject to it. The IRS imposes the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) on certain taxpayers who earn a significant amount of income, but are able to eliminate most, if not all, income from taxation using deductions and credits.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the \u201cIRA\u201d) was enacted into law. Among other changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the \u201cCode\u201d), the IRA imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on certain corporations (the \u201cCAMT\u201d).
Use Form 6251 to figure the amount, if any, of your alternative minimum tax (AMT). The AMT applies to taxpayers who have certain types of income that receive favorable treatment, or who qualify for certain deductions, under the tax law.

Once you have that AMT version of your taxable income, subtract the AMT exemption amount. Multiply what's left by the appropriate AMT tax rates. The AMT has two tax rates: 26% and 28%. (Compare these to the seven federal income tax brackets, ranging from 10% to 37%.)
To figure out whether you owe any additional tax under the Alternative Minimum Tax system, you need to fill out Form 6251. If the tax calculated on Form 6251 is higher than that calculated on your regular tax return, you have to pay the difference as AMT in addition to the regularly calculated income tax.
The AMT exemption for 2020 is $113,400 for married couples filing jointly, up from $84,500 in 2017 (table 1). For singles and heads of household, the exemption rises from $54,300 in 2017 to $72,900 in 2020. The AMT has two tax rates.
If your income is over the stated level, you're taxed at a rate of 28 percent on the excess income. This means that for a single person who earned more than $73,600 in 2021, but less than $199,900, the AMT rate is 26 percent. If that person earned more than $199,900, the AMT tax rate goes up to 28 percent.
The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) is a separate tax system that requires some taxpayers to calculate their tax liability twice\u2014first, under ordinary income tax rules, then under the AMT\u2014and pay whichever amount is highest. The AMT has fewer preferences and different exemptions and rates than the ordinary system.
