For tax year 2025 and first use of program-serious issue related to Form 8949 and AMT

I have no idea what has just occurred!  I have been using the 2024 software for 2025 estimating with a sale of my Moorpark CA home.  Schedule D properly shows the net gain after exclusion for both regular and AMT purposes.  Somehow, Schedule D AMT is now getting into this and on line 10 is showing "Long-term totals from all Forms 8949 with box F or L checked" then effectively taking the basis of property sold and taking out both the exclusion and selling costs and computing a massive gain on sale!  I have no idea what boxes F or L on Form 8949 are or how this works into it.  At the moment, this freaking version is showing I owe more than an added $117K in taxes!  This is completely nuts and not rational.  Can someone answer this?  Thank you!  Jeff Lynch

If you're using the 2025 software it is not yet ready for prime time.


The more I know the more I don’t know.

As Susan said 2025 is not very functional yet. Ok to play around with it, but will have lots of errors until January (maybe even after that 😁)
