3. Proceed to add any necessary additions to your net income. Complete fields 2a through 2e by filling in the corresponding amounts for any previous year's NOLs, capital losses or gains, federal tax refunds, and self-employment tax.
4. Sum lines 2a through 2e and input the total on line 3. Then, add this to your net income (line 4) to determine your subtotal.
5. Next, you will enter any deductions from your net income in Section A. Fill in lines 5a through 5c with federal tax payments and any business or nonbusiness deductions applicable.
6. Calculate the total subtractions on line 6 by adding lines 5a through 5c. Subtract this total from the subtotal on line 4 to compute your Computed NOL, which you will enter on line 7.
7. If your NOL is not fully absorbed in the tax year, continue to Section B. Fill in information about your Iowa taxable income for the carryback or carryover year on line 8.
8. In Section B, detail any additions and adjustments necessary for lines 9a through 11. Gather all relevant amounts that apply to this year, ensuring to calculate adjusted tax income accordingly.
9. Once you have computed your adjusted taxable income on line 13, proceed to line 14 for the NOL carryforward amount.
10. If your NOL has been fully absorbed, switch to Section C. Perform any required calculations similar to those in Section B, ensuring each relevant field is filled accurately.
11. After completing all sections, ensure that you have reviewed all your entries for accuracy before saving the document. You may now save changes, download, print, or share the filled form as necessary.
