Net operating loss for insurance returns
You can enter a deduction on the tax return for an amount equal to the aggregate of (1) the net operating loss (NOL) carryover, plus (2) the net operating loss carry back. The mixed group consolidation has 3 types of net operating losses that can be calculated in the return:
- Non-SRLY net operating losses
- SRLY net operating losses
- S382 net operating losses
Each type of net operating loss has its own Organizer where you can enter the amounts. All entries for each loss type should be entered in the pertinent taxable entity. Depending on the type of NOL, the amount to be limited must be entered as well.
