Do AMT Items "Post-1986 Depreciation Adjustment" impact shareholder's basis?

The S Corp shareholder's K-1 line 15 "Alternative minimum tax items" code A "Post 1986 depreciation adjustment" has a number. Could anyone explain what that is, and does it impact shareholder's basis?

I want to say no, it does not, but I am questioning myself.

Thank you!

It impacts their AMT basis.

It is the difference between depreciation computed for regular tax and for AMT.

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

Thank you, so do I need to consider this ( deduct or add) when calculating shareholders stock or debt basis? Seems not? For example, sec 179 would reduce shareholders stock basis. Not quite sure how ATM basis would impact their stock or debt basis or it would not?

There are 2 basis computations. One for Regular Tax and one for Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).

This item impacts the AMT stock basis only.
