2000 Tax Year |
NOL Carryover From 2000 to 2001
If you had an NOL deduction that reduced your taxable income on
your 2000 return to zero (to less than zero, if an estate or trust),
complete Table 1, Worksheet for NOL Carryover From 2000 to 2001.
It will help you figure your NOL to carry to 2001. Keep the
worksheet for your records.
Worksheet Instructions
At the top of the worksheet, enter the NOL year for which you are
figuring the carryover.
More than one NOL. If your 2000 NOL deduction includes
amounts for more than one loss year, complete this worksheet only for
one loss year. To determine which year, start with your earliest NOL
and subtract each NOL separately from your taxable income figured
without the NOL deduction. Complete this worksheet for the earliest
NOL that reduces your taxable income below zero. Your earlier NOLs
will be completely used up in 2000. Your NOL carryover to 2001 is the
total of the amount on line 9 of the worksheet and all later NOL
amounts.
Example.
Your taxable income for 2000 is $4,000 without your $9,000 NOL
deduction. Your NOL deduction includes $2,000 for 1998 and $7,000 for
1999. Subtract your 1998 NOL of $2,000 from $4,000. This gives you
taxable income of $2,000. Your 1998 NOL is now completely used up.
Subtract your $7,000 1999 NOL from $2,000. This gives you taxable
income of ($5,000). You now complete the worksheet for your 1999 NOL.
Your NOL carryover to 2001 is the unused part of your 1999 NOL from
line 9 of the worksheet.
Line 2.
Treat your NOL deduction for the NOL year entered at the top of the
worksheet and later years as a positive amount. Add it to your
negative taxable income. Enter the result on line 2.
Line 5.
You must refigure the following income and deductions based on
adjusted gross income.
- The special allowance for passive activity losses from
rental real estate activities.
- Taxable social security and tier 1 railroad retirement
benefits.
- IRA deduction.
- Excludable savings bond interest.
- Excludable employer-provided adoption benefits.
- Student loan interest deduction.
If none of these items apply to you, enter zero on line 5.
Otherwise, increase your adjusted gross income by the total of lines 3
and 4 and your NOL deduction for the NOL year entered at the top of
the worksheet and later years. Using this increased adjusted gross
income, refigure the items that apply, in the order listed above. Your
adjustment for each item is the difference between the refigured
amount and the amount included on your return. Add the adjustments for
previous items to your adjusted gross income before refiguring the
next item. Keep a record of your computations.
Enter your total adjustments for the above items on line 5.
Line 6.
Enter zero if you claimed the standard deduction. Otherwise, use
lines 10 through 41 of the worksheet to figure the amount to enter on
this line. Complete only those sections that apply to you.
Estates and trusts.
Enter zero on line 6 if you did not claim any miscellaneous
deductions on line 15b (Form 1041) or a casualty or theft loss.
Otherwise, refigure these deductions by substituting modified adjusted
gross income (see below) for adjusted gross income. Subtract the
recomputed deductions from those claimed on the return. Enter the
result on line 6.
Modified adjusted gross income.
To refigure miscellaneous itemized deductions of an estate or trust
( Form 1041, line 15b), modified adjusted gross income is the total of
the following amounts.
- The adjusted gross income on the return.
- The amounts from lines 3 and 4 of the worksheet.
- The exemption amount from Form 1041, line 20.
- The NOL deduction for the NOL year entered at the top of the
worksheet and for later years.
To refigure the casualty and theft loss deduction of an estate or
trust, modified adjusted gross income is the total of the following
amounts.
- The adjusted gross income amount you used to figure the
deduction claimed on the return.
- The amounts from lines 3 and 4 of the worksheet.
- The NOL deduction for the NOL year entered at the top of the
worksheet and for later years.
Line 10.
Treat your NOL deduction for the NOL year entered at the top of the
worksheet and for later years as a positive amount. Add it to your
adjusted gross income. Enter the result on line 10.
Line 19.
If you had a contributions carryover from 1999 to 2000 and your NOL
deduction includes an amount from an NOL year before 1999, you may
have to reduce your contributions carryover. This reduction is any
adjustment you made to your 1999 charitable contributions deduction
when figuring your NOL carryover to 2000. Use the reduced
contributions carryover to figure the amount to enter on line 19.
