I am doing a 1120.

Company lost $183K this year and is dissolving.

I've entered the P&L.  Any need for the Balance Sheet?  I can't imagine why.  They have no assets, just loss.  

Might someone want to buy it just for the NOL which is now $325K? Is that a thing?

Where would I enter the loss so that it adds to the NOL for next year?  But there is no next year.

Thanks in advance, Christopher

When all else fails READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. 

I would guess that there may have been a beginning balance sheet. How did they fund the loss? I would create an ending balance sheet, just to clearly show the activity for the year. Yes, there might be a market to buy a corporation for it's NOL. The NOL worksheet should be automatic through the program, assuming you entered all of the prior year information. There is much you did not provide, so a complete answer is not really possible. 


Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

She didn't provide a balance sheet.

I will get it from her and fill out the appropriate M schedule.

Yes it is a thing but not a valuable one. A buyer's ability to use it is severely limited.
