Does NOL trigger AMT?

How does NOL carryback affect AMT?
As a result of an NOL carryback, a C corporation either has an AMT liability in a pre-2018 carryback year or has released minimum tax credits (MTC) under section 53 in a pre-2018 carryback year because it no longer has enough regular tax liability to use them.
Is AMT NOL limited?
The NOL deduction for tax years beginning in 2018, 2019, and 2020 will be subject to the 80% limitation starting with tax years beginning in 2021. Likewise, to accelerate cash flows for corporate taxpayers, the CARES Act modified the AMT credit rules.
