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.  \nPart I—Net Minimum Tax on Exclusion Items  \nLine 1—Estates and Trusts  \nThese 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 2024 Schedule I (Form 1041), 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 (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,  \nline 4. Otherwise, enter on Form 8801, line 4, the amount from Schedule I, line 27, adjusted for exclusion items that were allocated to the beneficiary.  \nNote: If you complete Parts I and II of a 2024 Schedule I (Form 1041), as a worksheet to figure the amount to enter on 2025 Form 8801, line 4, don't attach that worksheet Schedule I to your tax return. Instead, keep it for your records.  \nLine 2  \nEnter 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 2024, include your 2024 standard deduction. Combine lines 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2g, and 2h of your 2024 Form  \n6251. Don't include any amount from line 2j of the 2024 Form  \n6251. Instead, include the exclusion item amount from the Schedule(s) K-1 (Form 1041) you received for 2024. That amount is shown in box 12 with code J. If you included on line 3 of the 2024 Form 6251 any adjustments related to exclusion items, also include those adjustments in the amount you enter on line 2.
