Notes

    As noted in Chapter 16, you may owe state income tax. Some states charge minimum taxes for business entities regardless of income.

    There are some exceptions to the two-year carryback rule. A farming loss NOL can be carried back five years. An NOL due to a theft or casualty can be carried back three years. An NOL attributable to a federally declared disaster for a qualified small business can be carried back three years (a sole proprietorship or partnership with average annual gross receipts of $5 million or less during the three years of the carryback). Note that only the NOL attributable to the disaster itself can be carried back three years.
