How do I calculate AMT?

Quick Answer

Calculate AMT on Form 6251: start with taxable income, add back AMT preference items (ISO bargain element, state tax deduction, private activity bond interest), subtract the AMT exemption, then multiply by 26% (28% above $232,600).

AMT calculation steps from taxable income to tentative minimum tax.
