NOL offsetting rules and order

The following list of net operating loss rules provides the order that the rules are applied in a Mixed Group consolidation. Read each NOL type carefully to under fully before applying.
  • NOL carryovers of the same return type (1120 NOLs, 1120-PC NOLs, OR 1120-L NOLs) must be absorbed by income of the same return type first. Any remaining carryovers can then be utilized by other subgroup return types.
  • NOLs of the same return type (1120 NOLs, 1120-PC NOLs, OR 1120-L NOLs) are utilized by income of the same return type first. Any remaining carryovers are utilized by other return type subgroups.
  • NOLs are offset WITHIN each subgroup before being consolidated to the top consolidation return, according to the IRS rules. The limited amounts are entered in the Organizer, AND the Organizer overrides are entered also.
  • NOLs in the top consolidation are offset according to the IRS rules,
    • Limited amounts must be entered in the Organizer for each Life company, and at the LNL level.
    • Limitations, such as the 35 percent limitation on Nonlife subgroup losses against Life subgroup income, are automatically applied when the LNL eligibility is checked for each year of loss.
    • The Organizer overrides must be entered.
