He has a $25,000 loss available to be carried to tax year 2011. Indiana Code 6-3-2-2.5 and 6-3-2-2.6 allow for a net operating loss (NOL) deduction from Indiana adjusted gross income. All loss years ending after January 1, 2004, and any existing NOL(s) carried over to a taxable year after this date must be recomputed by applying the amended provisions of this Act. Deductions for net operating losses that were incurred in taxable years ending before January 1, 2004, and carried back or forward and deducted in taxable years ending before January 1, 2004, are calculated under the law in effect for the year the NOL was incurred. Indiana NOLs may be carried forward for up to 20 years following the loss year (HEA 1316-2018(ss), Sec. 5). Note. If you potentially had a net operating loss for 2018 through 2021, please see the specific modifications for Line 2 related to those years and later. For tax years 2021 and later, itemized deductions are not permitted in determining Indiana net operating losses. In addition, if you have a net operating loss carryforward that was calculated in whole or in part using an itemized deduction, you must recalculate the net operating loss without the itemized deduction in order to determine the amount to be carried forward. Important: In order to carry a pre2004 Indiana NOL to tax year 2004 and beyond, you must: Step 1 – refigure the NOL using the new method on Form IT-40NOL revised R3/ 10-04, or after; Step 2 – reduce the refigured NOL by any amount previously used in any pre-2004 intervening year;* Step 3 – use any remaining NOL on line 17 of Carryforward Worksheet 2. * The application of the NOL in the pre2004 tax year(s) must conform with the rules that govern those years. Do not refigure the amount of deduction used in the pre-2004 tax years. When to use an Indiana NOL Carryback and carryforward years. Public Law 172-2011 amends IC 6-3-22.5 and IC 6-3-2-2.6. It provides that no Indiana net operating loss carryback claim may be filed after Dec. 31, 2011. Example. Paul has an Indiana NOL for the 2010 tax year. Paul did not file an Indiana NOL carryback claim before Jan. 1, 2012. Therefore, he will have to carry the loss forward. Note. This rule will have no impact on carryback claims filed before Jan. 1, 2012. Example. Ross has a $200,000 Indiana NOL for the 2010 tax year. In October of 2011 he carried this loss back to his 2008 and 2009 Indiana returns. He used $75,000 of the loss in 2008, and $100,000 Part 1 – Computation of Indiana NOL Enter the loss year (this is the year in which the NOL occurred). P.L. 81-2004, effective January 1, 2004, provides for an NOL deduction from Indiana adjusted gross income equal to the amount of a federal NOL, computed under IRC Section 172, for the taxable year, that is derived from sources from within Indiana, and adjusted for modifications under IC 6-3-1-3.5. The federal NOL for individuals, which reflects the IRC Section 172 application, is computed on federal Schedule A from Form 1045. Note. The use of Indiana modifications may result in an Indiana net operating loss even if there is no federal NOL. Line 1 – Full-year Indiana residents You must complete Schedule A from federal Form 1045 before figuring your Indiana net operating loss (NOL). If the amount on the last line of Schedule A, computed without itemized deductions, is: • negative (a loss), enter that amount here as a negative figure; • zero*, enter zero here; or • positive*, enter that amount here as a positive figure. * Due to the application of Indiana modifications, it is possible to have an Indiana NOL without first having a federal NOL as computed under IRC Section 172. If you think you have an Indiana NOL after the application of Indiana modifications, then you must first complete Schedule A of the Form 1045 to arrive at the amount to be entered on this line. Full-year and part-year Indiana nonresidents Apply like kind modifications (as computed under IRC Section 172) derived from Indiana sources to the amount from line 1 of Form IT-40PNR, and enter the result here. If the modified amount from line 1 of Form IT-40PNR is: • negative (a loss), enter that amount here as a negative figure; • zero, enter zero here; or • positive, enter that amount here as a positive figure. Line 2 – Certain Indiana modifications as reported on the loss year IT-40/IT-40PNR 1 should be reflected here. Important: Full-year and part-year Indiana nonresidents who file Form IT-40PNR for tax year 2008 or before should skip line 2 and continue to line 3. Net the following Indiana add-backs as reported on the loss year’s return. For tax years 2003 and beyond (tax years 2009 and beyond for IT-40PNR filers), add: • Tax add-back • Net operating loss carryforward • Lump sum distribution • Section 179 expense • Bonus depreciation For tax years 2009 and beyond, add: • Unemployment compensation (2009 only) • Deferral of business indebtedness discharge and reacquisition • Qualified disaster assistance property • Qualified refinery property • Qualified restaurant property • Qualified film or television production • Qualified preferred stock • Qualified retail improvement property For tax years 2010 – 2012, add: • Educator expense • Employer-provided educational expenses** • IRA charitable distribution** • Qualified transportation fringe expenses** • Student loan interest** • Tuition and fees** For tax years 2010 and beyond, add • Discharge of debt of a principal residence • Motorsports entertainment complex** • Qualified advance mining safety equipment** • Qualified environmental remediation costs** • Qualified leasehold improvement property** • Start-up expenditures** Do not include the following add-backs for tax years 2010 and beyond: • Domestic production activities • Oil and gas well depletion deduction • Qualified electric utility amortization • RIC dividends to nonresident aliens **Apply these if 2010 is the loss year. While these add-backs were first required for the 2010 tax year, individuals were given a choice to report them on either their 2010 or their 2011 Indiana tax return. Therefore, if 2010 is the loss year, include on line 2 only those add-backs that were reported on the 2010 tax return. For tax year 2011 and beyond, add: • Certain trade or business deductions based on employment of unauthorized alien For tax year 2012 and beyond, add: • OOS municipal obligation interest Note. In 2013 the following add-backs were deemed to be no longer required, retroactive to 2012: • IRA charitable distribution • Motorsports entertainment complex • Qualified advance mining safety equipment • Qualified leasehold improvement property • Qualified restaurant property • Qualified retail improvement property • Qualified transportation fringe expenses • Tuition and fees If you reported any of the above on your 2012 tax return, and you utilized Option 2 to report them as a negative add-back on your 2013 return (using a 300-series 3-digit code number in lieu of filing an amendment for 2012), do not include these amounts on line 2 when 2013 is the loss year. Do not include the following add-backs for tax years 2016 and beyond: • Certain trade or business deductions based on employment of unauthorized aliens • Lump sum distribution • Discharge of debt of a principal residence For tax years 2017 and beyond, add: • Deduction under IRC 965(c) allowable for untaxed foreign earnings and profits (repatriated dividends) For tax years 2018 and beyond, add: • Excess federal interest (under IRC Section 163(j)) • Excess business losses permitted for federal purposes but not Indiana purposes (2018-2020 only) For tax years 2020 and beyond, add: • Charitable contributions deductions claimed by individuals in determining federal AGI (2020 only) • Student loan payments made by an employer and excluded from federal gross income, net of interest that would have been permitted for federal purposes absent the federal exclusions • Unemployment excluded from federal gross income (2020 only) For tax years 2021 and later, add: • Student loan debt discharged under IRC section 108(f)(5) except “those excluded as a result of death, total and permanent disability, or bankruptcy. • 50% of certain meals deducted in determining AGI For tax years 2022 and later, subtract: • Indiana education scholarship account deduction • Indiana enrichment scholarship account deduction Line 3 – If any amount of loss from this loss year has been carried to a preceding year, enter as a positive amount the amount of loss used in that preceding year(s). Example. Ross has a $200,000 Indiana NOL for the 2010 tax year. He previously carried this loss back to his 2008 and 2009 Indiana returns. He used $75,000 of the loss in 2008, and $100,000 of the loss in 2009. He must enter the $175,000 ($75,000 plus $100,000) net loss previously carried back. Note. Do not include on this line any loss amount previously carried forward. Example. Olivia has a $100,000 Indiana NOL for the 2009 tax year. She previously carried $10,000 of this loss back to her 2007 return, $11,000 to her 2008 return, and used $19,000 of the loss on her 2010 return. She must enter the $21,000 ($10,000 plus $11,000) net loss previously carried back.

For taxable years 2018 through 2020, enter the amount of excess business losses disallowed for Indiana adjusted gross income tax purposes. If you are a part- or full-year nonresident, enter the portion of such losses attributable to Indiana sources.

However, in no case should the Indiana loss be greater than the federal excess business loss reported for federal purposes. Further, in no case should the Indiana loss reported in adjusted gross income plus the disallowed portion permitted as an Indiana NOL carryforward exceed the Indiana loss determined without regard to the loss disallowance.

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
