Prepare Form 1139

Do the following to prepare Form 1139.
note
  • At this time, you can't e-file Form 1139. When you electronically file a corporate return that includes Form 1139, you can file a paper copy of the form later.
  • The IRS Instructions for Form 1139 refer to a repeal of the NOL carryback:
    For losses incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2020, the NOL carryback rules apply only for farming losses and losses from insurance companies, other than life insurance companies
Before you begin
UltraTax CS can't recalculate the corporation's prior-year tax returns. Complete the following steps before completing the

  1. Obtain copies of the corporation's original returns for years you're carrying information back to.
  2. Recalculate the prior-year's tax returns that are affected by the carryback.
  3. Using the corporation's original returns and the recalculated returns, complete the information requested in the
    1139

  1. Mark the
    Calculate carryback of net operating loss

    1139
     screen to calculate.
  4. Close the current-year return.
