Hi, It sounds like you understand NQSO's. I have a client with over $500K in box 12 with a code V. I have the 1099-B from the broker and it shows cost basis of what he bought it for but it does not include the $500K that was included in income. That has normally never been a problem for me. I just put the amount that was included in the W-2 on the worksheet as an adjustment and it's correct.

This year in Proseries we have to choose a code (Code B) and make the adjustment as a negative number. It's totally different from before. That difference between the amount he paid and the amount on the W-2 is going to Form 6251 line 2K and causing this client to get Alternative Minimum tax. I know it's wrong or at least I am 99.9% sure it is wrong. Would you agree? Is there a place for me to post this so Proseries can look at the calculation.

Thank you.
