AMT Form 6251 not generating - Take Standard Deduction and Add ISO preference.

I entered the exercise of ISO in the PTO field at the AMT section.  TP did not itemize.  Form 6251 is not generating.  Any reason? Any way to force print?  Thanks.

AMT has become a bit of a dinosaur. You should be able to view the 6251 and see that no tax is being generated. Once you view the form, you certainly can print it. 

I just tried a simple dummy return and stuck $50,000 of ISO in and no AMT.

@George4Tacks As always thanks for your time and comment.  TP's ISO $20,000 for AMT is lower than your dummy amount. TP is not subject to AMT but will force print.
