See Special Instructions for Nonresidents. ADOR Instructions For Completing Form NOL-85A General Instructions skip lines 8 through 13 and enter zero on line 14. If you incurred a net operating loss for a taxable year beginning after December 31, 1984, Form NOL-85A should be used to carry the loss back or forward. For loss years beginning before January 1, 1998, a net operating loss may be carried back and deducted from taxable income of the three years preceding the loss. Any unused portion of the loss may then be brought forward for 15 years or until used up, whichever comes first. For loss years beginning after December 31, 1997, a net operating loss may be carried back and deducted from taxable income of the two years preceding the loss. Any unused portion of the loss may then be brought forward for 15 years. The loss must be carried back before bringing forward, unless an election is made to forfeit the carryback provision or the loss is claimed on the subsequent year’s timely filed return. Before Form NOL-85A can be completed, you must first complete Form NOL-85 to determine the actual amount of the net operating loss that may be carried back or brought forward. If a net operating loss is not used up the first year to which it is applied, you must complete another Form NOL-85A to carry the unused portion to the next available year. Line 8. The Adjusted Gross Income as shown on the return to which the loss is being carried should be entered on line 8. If this return has been amended or adjusted, enter the adjusted gross income as last amended or last adjusted. If a net operating loss from another year has previously been applied to this year, then the amount on line 10 of Form NOL-85A should be entered on this line. Special Instructions Most lines on Form NOL-85A are self-explanatory. The following information is provided for those lines needing further explanation. In the top right corner, enter the tax year to which the loss is being carried. Line 2. If this is the first year to which the net operating loss is being applied, enter the amount shown on Form NOL-85, Part II, line 7. If the entire loss was not used up the first year to which the loss was applied, then the amount shown on line 7 of the previous Form NOL-85A should be entered on line 2. Line 3. The taxable income as shown on the return to which the loss is carried should be entered on this line. Example: If the loss is carried to a 2000 Form 40, the taxable income is on line 18. Lines 4a and 4b. Enter the personal exemption and dependent exemption claimed on the return to which the loss is carried. If you did not receive a tax benefit for the full amount of these exemptions, enter only the amount for which you received a tax benefit. Line 7. Complete line 7 to determine if you have any unused net operating loss to carry to another tax year. If the amount on line 7 is more than zero, this represents the unused net operating loss that can be carried over to another tax year. This amount should be entered on line 2 of Form NOL-85A for the tax year to which it is being carried. BEFORE COMPLETING LINES 8 THROUGH 14 — Compare the amounts on lines 2 and 3. If the amount on line 2 is less than the amount on line 3, you must complete lines 8 through 14 to determine the tax due after applying the net operating loss. If the amount on line 2 is equal to or greater than the amount on line 3, NOTE: If more than one Net Operating Loss is applied to the same tax year, the earliest loss incurred must be applied first. A separate NOL-85A must be completed for each loss. For further information on applying more than one net operating loss to the same tax year, please refer to Regulation 810-3-15.2-.01 (Section 40-18-15.2, Code of Alabama 1975). A copy of this regulation is available upon request. Special Instructions for Nonresidents Nonresidents must complete Part III before completing Part II, lines 11a through 11e. This is necessary in order to arrive at a new percentage to determine the Standard or Itemized Deductions, Federal Income Tax Deduction, Personal Exemption, and Dependent Exemption allowable as a deduction after applying the net operating loss. If you are married and filed separate Alabama returns and a joint Federal return, you must make a separate computation to determine the Federal Income Tax Deduction. Use the following worksheet to determine this percentage: 1.  Your Modified Adjusted Gross Income From All Sources as shown on line 17, Part III Form NOL-85A . . . . . $______________ 2.  Your spouseʼs Federal Adjusted Gross Income . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   ______________ 3.  Add the amounts on lines 1 and 2 . . . . . $______________ 4.  Divide the amount on line 1 by the amount on line 3. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   ____________% Multiply the Federal Income Tax Liability by the percentage on line 4 and enter the result on line 11c. A COPY OF FORM NOL-85A MUST BE ATTACHED TO FORM 40X, FORM 40, OR FORM 40NR. BE SURE TO KEEP A COPY FOR YOUR RECORDS FOR FURTHER REFERENCE.

About the Corporate Income Tax

The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.

Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).

Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
