Thank you 

I appreciate everyone's help.   I have carried back the NOL per the IRS letter.   2017 is the final year of the K-1 that produced the NOL, that I had to carry back   When I am amending 2017  I  removed  the prior year Passive losses on the 2017 K-1 input screen?  If I don't it seems like it is figuring this NOL, plus using the prior year NOL that was carried forward from having to carry it back.   Is my reasoning correct?
