In order to determine whether you may be required to pay the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), we will ask you a series of questions.

• Most people using the 2010 AMT Assistant can complete the AMT worksheet using this tool in 5-10 minutes.

Before You Start

• Have your draft 2010 Form 1040 available, completed through Line 44. You will be entering information from the 1040 and Schedule A (if used).
  • If you are claiming the foreign tax credit, you should complete Form 1040, line 47, because you may also be asked for information from that line.

Remember the answer you get is only as accurate as the data you enter!
