About the Course

Introduction

This course will discuss the nuances of net operating losses (NOLs), amended returns, and IRS submission procedures. Our authoritative panel will cover how NOL carryforward planning can maximize refunds and discuss how to properly file claims for refunds.

Description

The NOL provisions were significantly changed by the Tax Act of 2017. Now NOLs can only offset 80 percent of an individual's or business' taxable income, but unlike the prior limited 20-year carryforward, losses are carried forward indefinitely. Maximizing depreciation often generates losses and provides NOL deductions that free up cash for struggling businesses.

Although the indefinite carryforward of excess business losses is welcomed, nuances of the calculations should be considered. The NOL is limited without consideration of Section 199A or the NOL deduction itself. The constant flux of tax changes, including the upcoming bonus depreciation phase-out, Section 163(j) limitations, and R&D capitalization, make planning to maximize cash flow from these carryforwards essential.

Listen as our panel of NOL experts explains the latest IRS rules for calculating NOLs and amending prior returns to maximize cash refunds for taxpayers.
