Cares Act Impacts On Net Operating Losses: Frequently Asked Questions
What is an NOL?
An NOL occurs when a company’s tax deductions
exceed its taxable income within a given tax period. An
NOL can be carried forward over future tax periods and
used to offset taxable income to reduce a company’s
total tax liability. The 2017 tax reform legislation known
as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) lifted the
previous 20-year limit on NOL carryforwards, but limited
NOLs to 80% of taxable income in any one tax period.
Among other changes, the CARES Act temporarily
removes this 80% limit for taxable years beginning
before 2021 to allow an NOL carryforward to fully offset
an organization’s income.
