Excess business loss and Net operang loss deducon adjustments
Minnesota does not currently recognize the net operating loss (NOL) provisions under the CARES Act. Your losses in 2019 may be subject to
the excess business loss limits and carryover limits under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended through December 31, 2018. You must add to
income any amount of a net operating loss exceeding the excess business loss limitations in the Worksheet for Excess Business Losses. You must
also adjust your 2019 NOL deduction if it includes a carryover NOL originating from tax years after December 31, 2017.
If you had a net operating loss carryover from tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, your net operating loss deduction is limited to 80%
of taxable income for losses originating in those years and only losses from a farming activity may be carried back to the previous two years. If
you have a carryover of a net operating loss, use the instructions under Net Operating Loss Carryover below.
Complete the Worksheet for Excess Business Losses if your net losses from a trade or business are more than $255,000 ($510,000 if married
