AMT-CF

Use the keyword AMT-CF to enter the jurisdiction from which the AMT is carried forward.

DT Max automatically calculates any alternative minimum tax payable. However, in order for the calculations to be reliable, you must enter the AMT amount the first year that is it being carried forward.

Please verify that the carryforwards calculated by the program match the CRA's records.

The following options are applicable for the keyword Amount.amt.

Secondary keywordAmount.prev

Use Amount.prev to enter the year and total federal alternative minimum tax carryforward claimed on line 118 of schedule T691 for that year.
