Hey All,
Had a quick Q regarding the 80% limitation on NOL that I seemingly cannot find a response to. My question is does the 80% rule only apply to NOL amounts being carried forward, or does it apply to current year NOLs as well?
Example: say you have a business owner that lost $$ in 2022 of 50k, but has 30k of personal interest/dividend income. Does this mean the 50k current year NOL is limited to 24k or it would be a full loss in 2022? I know in 2023 the NOL carryforward would definitely be subject to 80% of taxable income but not sure about current year losses if someone can chime in on it.
Note: this example is ignoring the standard deduction/taxable income amounts because I do believe the 80% is based on taxable income and in this example say MFJ taxable income would only be around 5k or so, so in reality the numbers may be capped at 4k if the 80% applies to current year NOLs
Thanks in advance
