In this case, just enter the total depreciation taken for this asset or vehicle in the years you were subject to the AMT.\r\n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\r\nIf you've never had to pay the AMT, then you can just enter zero here. \r\n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\r\nIf you're not sure, look at your prior federal returns and see if there's a \u003Ci>Form 6251\u003C/i> included with the return and an amount on the Alternative minimum tax line on your \u003Ci>Form 1040, Schedule 2\u003C/i>. If there is, then that year's depreciation for this asset or vehicle would go in this AMT prior-year depreciation box (the bottom one). If not, then you can just enter all prior-year depreciation for this asset or vehicle in the regular prior-year depreciation box (the top one).",1777391543889]
