Taxpayer had an NOL in 2012 caused by a large Sch E loss; a 1045 (p.2) was included with return, with election to carryforward the NOL. We will be able to use it in 2013. I believe it's sufficient to just rehash the 2012 1045 info (Prior yr negative taxable income + Non-business deductions + Non-business income), to comply with requirement to 'explain' the NOL. Agree?
