Line 427 - Minimum tax
carryover
If you paid minimum tax on any of your 2011 to 2017 returns but do not have to pay minimum tax for 2018, you may be able to claim credits against your taxes for 2018 for all or part of the minimum tax you paid in those years.
Minimum tax (line 417 of your Schedule 1)
Minimum tax limits the tax advantage you can receive in a year from certain incentives. You have to pay minimum tax if it is more than the federal tax you calculate in the usual manner.
To find out if you have to pay this tax, add the amounts shown in B below and 60% of the amount on line 127 of your return. If the total is $40,000 or less, you probably do not have to pay minimum tax. If the total is more than $40,000, you may have to pay minimum tax. Therefore, get and complete Form T691, Alternative Minimum Tax. You also may have to complete Form 428 to calculate additional provincial or territorial tax for minimum tax purposes.
