Hi!!

When calculating the adjusted gain or loss on Line 9 of Form 6251-AMT, do you know if the AMT loss limited to $3,000??

Hello Gregg,

Yes. See the instructions to Form 6251. AMT capital gains and losses are computed on a separate Schedule D, and the $3,000 capital loss limitation separately computed and applied for AMT.

Good luck!
