Illustrated Schedule B (Form 1045)The following example illustrates how to figure an NOL carryoverfrom a carryback year. It includes a filled in Schedule B (Form 1045). Example.Ida Brown runs a small clothing shop. In 1999, she has an NOL of$36,000 that she chooses to carry back to 1997. She has no othercarrybacks or carryovers to 1997. Ida's adjusted gross income in 1997 was $29,000, consisting of hersalary of $30,000 minus a $1,000 capital loss deduction. She is singleand claimed only one personal exemption of $2,650. During that year,she gave $1,450 in charitable contributions. Her medical expenses were$2,725. She also deducted $1,650 in taxes and $1,125 in home mortgageinterest. Her deduction for charitable contributions was not limited becauseher contributions, $1,450, were less than 50% of her adjusted grossincome. The deduction for medical expenses was limited to expensesover 7.5% of adjusted gross income (.075 $29,000 = $2,175;$2,725 - $2,175 = $550). The deductions for taxes and homemortgage interest were not subject to any limits. She was able toclaim $4,775 ($1,450 + $550 + $1,650 + $1,125) in itemized deductionsfor 1997. She had no other deductions in 1997. Her taxable income forthe year was $21,575. Ida's $36,000 carryback will reduce her 1997 taxable income tozero. She completes the column labeled "2nd preceding tax year ended12/31/97," of Schedule B (Form 1045) to figure how much ofher NOL she uses up in 1997 and how much she can carry over to 1998.See the illustrated Schedule B shown here. Ida does not complete thecolumn for the first preceding tax year ended 12/31/98 becausethe $10,700 carryover to 1998 is completely used up that year. (Seethe information for line 9, below.) Line 1. Ida enters $36,000, her 1999 net operating loss,on line 1. Line 2. She enters $21,575, her 1997 taxable income, online 2. Line 3. Ida enters on line 3 her net capital lossdeduction of $1,000. Line 5. Although Ida's entry on line 3 modifies heradjusted gross income, that does not affect any other items includedin her adjusted gross income. Ida enters zero on line 5. Line 6. Since Ida had itemized deductions and entered$1,000 on line 3, she completes lines 10 through 34 to figure heradjustment to itemized deductions. On line 6, she enters the totaladjustment from line 34. Line 10. Ida's adjusted gross income for 1997 was$29,000. Line 11. She adds lines 3 through 5 and enters $1,000 online 11. (This is her net capital loss deduction added back, whichmodifies her adjusted gross income.) Line 12. Her modified adjusted gross income for 1997 isnow $30,000. Line 13. On her 1997 tax return, she deducted $550 asmedical expenses. Line 14. Her actual medical expenses were $2,725. Line 15. She multiplies her modified adjusted grossincome, $30,000, by .075. She enters $2,250 on line 15. Line 16. The difference between her actual medicalexpenses and the amount she is allowed to deduct is $475. Line 17. The difference between her medical deductionand her modified medical deduction is $75. She enters this on line 17. Line 18. She enters her modified adjusted gross incomeof $30,000 on line 18. Line 19. She had no other carrybacks to 1997 and enterszero on line 19. Line 20. Her modified adjusted gross income remains$30,000. Line 21. Her actual contributions for 1997 were $1,450,which she enters on line 21. Line 22. She now refigures her charitable contributionsbased on her modified adjusted gross income. Since she is well belowthe 50% limit, she enters $1,450 on line 22. Line 23. The difference is zero. Lines 24 through 33. Leuven hôtelsSince Ida had no casualty losses ordeductions for miscellaneous items in 1997, she leaves these linesblank. Line 34. She combines lines 17, 23, 28, and 33 andenters $75 on line 34. She carries this figure to line 6. Line 7. Ida enters her personal exemption of $2,650 for1997. Line 8. After combining lines 2 through 7, Ida'smodified taxable income is $25,300. Line 9. Ida figures her carryover to 1998 by subtractingher modified taxable income (line 8) from her NOL deduction (line 1).She enters the $10,700 carryover on line 9. She also enters this$10,700 as her NOL deduction for 1998 on line 11 of page 1, Form 1045,in the "After carryback" column under the column labeled "1stpreceding tax year ended 12/31/98."
