For many years preceding 2018, Minimis Corporation, a calendar year corporation, had incurred the alternative minimum tax (AMT) and as a result had a $2 million minimum tax carryover into 2018. However, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 repealed the corporate AMT for tax years beginning after 2017.
