Summary
Tax professionals are increasingly finding their individual clients incurring net operating losses (NOLs). These losses may be carried forward or carried back to another tax year. Which option is best? Computing the carryover amount is tricky and tax professionals shouldn’t rely on their software’s calculation. Even if a client has positive adjusted gross income, an NOL might exist. Conversely, just because a client has negative taxable income doesn’t necessarily mean the client has an NOL. This webinar guides tax professionals through the NOL computations and the mechanics of carrying the NOL to a future or previous tax year. The factors to consider in deciding whether to carry an NOL forward or back are also explained.
Objectives
Upon completion of this webinar, you will be able to:
- Determine, based on individual circumstances, if an NOL should be carried forward or carried back.
- Determine the carryback or carry forward period available for an NOL.
- Identify elections available to your clients and properly make or revoke those elections.
- Compute an NOL and AMT NOL for individuals.
- Complete Form 1045, Application for Tentative Refund.
