NOL Election not to carry back


🔍 NOL Election not to carry back

SureFire will automatically assume that the Net Operating Loss (NOL) is being carried forward unless you complete the carryback information on Form 1045.

Note: Form 1045 cannot be filed electronically.

⚠️ Before You Begin

You will need to add the election statement using the Election Explanations form.

  • Form 1045 cannot be filed electronically.
  • You may need to attach the statement if you are mailing your client’s return.

📊 Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Add the Election Explanations form

Use this when you need to enter the election statement for not carrying back the NOL.

Click Add Form/Display List, then select the Election Explanations form.

Step 2: Enter your election statement

Use this to provide the required election language.

Go to the Election Explanations form and do one of the following:

  • Press F1 for a cut-and-paste election statement, or
  • Type in your own election statement.

Step 3: Attach the statement if mailing the return

Use this if you are not e-filing the client’s return.

The Election Explanations form is included in e-files, but if you are mailing your client’s return, attach the statement to the paper return.
