Note. If you complete Parts I and II of a 2022 Form 1041,
Schedule I, as a worksheet to figure the amount to enter on 2023
Form 8801, line 4, don't attach that worksheet Schedule I to
your tax return. Instead, keep it for your records.

General Instructions
Enter on this line the adjustments and preferences treated as
exclusion items. Exclusion items are only the following AMT
adjustments and preferences: certain itemized deductions
(including any investment interest expense reported on
Schedule E), certain tax-exempt interest, depletion, the section
1202 exclusion, the standard deduction, and any other
adjustments related to exclusion items. If you didn’t file a
Schedule A in 2022, include your 2022 standard deduction.
Combine lines 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2g, and 2h of your 2022 Form
6251. Don't include any amount from line 2j of the 2022 Form
6251. Instead, include the exclusion item amount from the
Schedule(s) K-1 (Form 1041) you received for 2022. That
amount is shown in box 12 with code J. If you included on line 3
of the 2022 Form 6251 any adjustments related to exclusion
items, also include those adjustments in the amount you enter
on line 2. Enter the total on line 2.
Purpose of Form
Use Form 8801 if you are an individual, estate, or trust to figure
the minimum tax credit, if any, for alternative minimum tax (AMT)
you incurred in prior tax years and to figure any credit
carryforward to 2024.
Who Should File
Complete Form 8801 if you are an individual, estate, or trust that
for 2022 had:
An AMT liability and adjustments or preferences other than
•
exclusion items,
A credit carryforward to 2023 (on 2022 Form 8801, line 26), or
An unallowed qualified electric vehicle credit (see the
•
•
instructions for line 20).
File Form 8801 only if line 21 is more than zero.
Exclusion items on other lines. If you included any exclusion
item on a line not listed above, include that item in the amount
you enter on line 2. For example, if depletion was included on
Form 6251 as an adjustment on line 2m (passive activities)
instead of on line 2d (depletion), include it as an exclusion item
in the amount you enter on line 2.
Specific Instructions
The AMT is a separate tax that is imposed in addition to your
regular tax. It is caused by two types of adjustments and
preferences—deferral items and exclusion items. Deferral items
(for example, depreciation) generally don't cause a permanent
difference in taxable income over time. Exclusion items (for
example, the standard deduction), on the other hand, do cause a
permanent difference. The minimum tax credit is allowed only for
the AMT caused by deferral items.
Line 3
Your minimum tax credit net operating loss deduction
(MTCNOLD) is the total of the minimum tax credit net operating
loss (MTCNOL) carryovers and carrybacks to 2022. Your
MTCNOL is figured as follows.
Your MTCNOL is the excess of the deductions allowed when
computing alternative minimum taxable income (AMTI) for 2022
(excluding the MTCNOLD) over the income used to figure AMTI
taking into account only exclusion items for both. Figure this
excess with the modifications in section 172(d) taking into
account only exclusion items. (That is, the section 172(d)
modifications must be figured separately for the MTCNOL.)
Part I—Net Minimum Tax on Exclusion
Items
Line 1—Estates and Trusts
These line 1 instructions are for estates and trusts only. If you are
filing on behalf of an estate or trust, skip lines 1 through 3 of
Form 8801. To figure the amount to enter on line 4 of Form 8801,
complete Parts I and II of another 2022 Form 1041, Schedule I,
as a worksheet. After completing lines 1 and 6 of Schedule I,
complete the rest of Part I of Schedule I by taking into account
only exclusion items (the amounts included on lines 2, 3, 4, 5, 7,
and 8, and any other adjustments related to exclusion items
included on line 21 of Schedule I). On line 22 of Schedule I, use
the minimum tax credit net operating loss deduction
For example, the limitation of nonbusiness deductions to the
amount of nonbusiness income must be figured separately for
the MTCNOL using only nonbusiness income and deductions
but taking into account only exclusion items. However, ignore the
disallowance of the deduction for personal exemptions under
section 172(d)(3) because it has already been taken into
account to figure AMTI attributable only to exclusion items.
To determine the amount of MTCNOL that may be carried to
tax years other than 2022, apply sections 172(b)(2) and 172(d)
with appropriate modifications to take into account only
exclusion items.
(MTCNOLD). However, don't limit the MTCNOLD to 90% of the
total of lines 1 through 21 of Schedule I. (See the instructions for
line 3 of Form 8801 for how to figure the MTCNOLD.) In Part II of
Schedule I, complete lines 33 and 34 without taking into account
any basis adjustments arising from deferral items. If the amount
on Schedule I, line 27, is zero or less, enter -0- on Form 8801,

of each 2022 Form 1116. You will use these MTFTCE Forms
1116 to figure the MTFTCE amount to enter on line 12 of Form
8801.
Line 4
If your filing status was married filing separately for 2022 and
line 4 is more than $776,100, you must include an additional
amount on line 4. If line 4 is $1,012,300 or more, include an
additional $59,050 on line 4. Otherwise, include 25% of the
excess of the amount on line 4 over $776,100. For example, if
the amount on line 4 is $796,100, enter $801,100 instead—the
additional $5,000 is 25% of $20,000 ($796,100 minus
$776,100).
Figuring high-taxed income. When applying the separate
categories of income, use the applicable AMT rate instead of the
regular tax rate to determine if any income is “high-taxed.”
Step 2. Complete Part I of each MTFTCE Form 1116 using only
taxable income and exclusion items that are attributable to
sources outside the United States. See Foreign source qualified
dividends and capital gains (losses) below for possible
adjustments.

Foreign source qualified dividends and capital gains (los-
ses). If you had any 2022 foreign source qualified dividends or
foreign source capital gains (including any foreign source capital
gain distributions) or losses, use the following instructions to
determine whether you must make adjustments to those
amounts before you include the amounts on line 1a or line 5 of
the MTFTCE Form 1116.
Line 11
If for 2022 you claimed the foreign earned income exclusion,
housing exclusion, or housing deduction on Form 2555, you
must use the Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet in these
instructions to figure the amount to enter on line 11.

Foreign qualified dividends. You must adjust your foreign
source qualified dividends before you include those amounts on

items (MTFTCE). If you made an election to claim the foreign
tax credit on your 2022 Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR

foreign tax credit on your 2022 Schedule 3 (Form 1040), line 1.
Enter that amount on Form 8801, line 12. Otherwise, your
MTFTCE is your 2022 AMT foreign tax credit (AMTFTC)

Part II—Minimum Tax Credit and

Form 2555. If (2) above applies, and you filed Form 2555 for

if you have an AMT capital gain excess, subtract Form 8801,
line 10, from line 4 of your 2022 Qualified Dividends and Capital
Gain Tax Worksheet or line 10 of your 2022 Schedule D Tax
Worksheet, whichever applies. If the result is more than zero,
that amount is your AMT capital gain excess.
If you have an AMT capital gain excess, figure the amounts to

modifications (only for purposes of Part III of Form 8801).
1. Reduce the amount on line 3 of your 2022 Qualified
Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet or line 9 of your 2022
Schedule D Tax Worksheet (but not below zero) by your AMT
capital gain excess.
2. Reduce the amount on line 2 of your 2022 Qualified
