Warning: Other deductions requires T691

You’ll see the following warning message on the ERRORS page in H&R Block’s 2024 tax software if you entered amounts in the Carrying charges, interest paid, and other expenses section (under the Credits & deductions tab on the Pension contributions & expense page), but didn’t complete the applicable section(s) on the Alternative minimum tax (T691) page:

You have an amount for other deductions (line 232) in your return. So you’ll need to complete some sections on the Alternative minimum tax (T691) page to calculate whether you have to pay minimum tax. Depending on what your other deductions were, complete one of these sections: Rental and leasing property, Tax shelters, limited partnerships, and non-active partners, or Resource property and flow-through shares. You can find the T691 page in the OTHER section in the CREDITS AND DEDUCTIONS tab. [warning]

 

How do I fix this?

To clear this warning, enter your information on the Alternative minimum tax (T691) page in one or more of these sections, as applicable:

• Rental and leasing property
• Tax shelters, limited partnerships, and non-active partners
• Resource property and flow-through shares

Note: The Alternative minimum tax (T691) page is on the Credits & deductions tab under the Other heading.
