2018 California 540 "Excess business loss"

glen4cpa100

On the 2018 California form 3805V, page 4, Lacerte shows that the carried loss has been reduced by $500,000 under the Excess Business Loss rules.  However, under the Loophole Closure Act (AB 91), the Excess Business loss limitations apply only to years after 2018. 

This is explained in the Franchise Tax Board's "Tax News", the September 2019 issue, (item 13).  Here is the link: https://www.ftb.ca.gov/about-ftb/newsroom/tax-news/september-2019/ab-91-loophole-closure-and-small-b...

Why is this happening?

Have you updated?
What type of return are you working on?
What type of numbers are you showing? Original Loss? and Carryover to 2018?
I see this working fine with the 540 - Version 40.0406 for CA

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!
