IR-2020-67, IRS provides guidance under the CARES Act to taxpayers with net operating losses
Revenue Procedure 2020-24 provides guidance under section 172(b)(1) and section 172(b)(3), as amended by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (CARES Act). Section 2303 of the CARES Act amended section 172 to require taxpayers with net operating losses (NOLs) arising in taxable years beginning in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to carry those NOLs back for the 5 preceding taxable years, unless the taxpayer elects to waive or reduce the carryback period. The revenue procedure also describes how taxpayers with NOLs arising in taxable years 2018, 2019, or 2020 can elect to either waive the carryback period for those losses entirely or to exclude from the carryback period for those losses any years in which the taxpayer has an inclusion in income as a result of section 965(a).
