Question

Can I file a 1040-X while making more than on change?

Hi!

I need to amend a 2024 1040  for two issues. 1) adding business income and expenses with net loss, 2) carrying over to 2024 a 2021 NOL.

First, I added the business amounts in Schd C with resulting net loss flowing into Schd 1, and the 1040-X shows the proper “revised” AGI and Taxable Income $51,111.

Then, I input the 2021 NOL being carried over,  using -per the rule - an amount equals to 80% of “revised” taxable income (-40,889).  At that point the 1040-X ends up showing a negative amount (-21,127) on line 3, column C, and  the a Federal statement is generated showing taxable income of (-21,127) instead of $0, and taxable income before the NOL of $19,762, instead of $51,111.  The refund amount is correct.

The generated Federal statement  continues with showing $19,762 of 2021 NOL was used instead of $40,889, thus  showing the wrong NOL amount being carried over to 2025.

I  wrote a detailed and clear statement for the reasons to amend, but since the return will probably only be “read” by a computer , I am concerned that it will ignore my written statement and carry forward the above discrepancies.

Thank you for your time!

Hi ​@DGEmbry great to see you in the Community and thanks for posting. Lacerte Support will be able to assist if you have diagnostics or need to know where input is. If worried about the statement being missed, we'd contact the IRS E-help desk to inquire about the statement.
