AMT Credit; filing status change
Client is MFJ in 2008, divorced and HOH in 2009, do I have to allocate the information on the 8801 (from the 2008 return) for the AMT Credit or use the full amount that was on the 2008 return?

You will need to calculate the amount attributable to your client. Unless all of the taxable income and tax is theirs, they are not entitled to the full credit.
