Okay anyone care to settle a friendly dispute...one of us says form 172 part 2 is for carrybacks and any amount that was not absorbed to carry forward and one of us say it is to carry forward any NOL .  I just hope I am right but sometimes something like this could just let one of us know we are to old for this game and need to change professions or the type of returns completed. Thank you in advance for reading even if you don't want to answer.
