    How does someone end up with more withholding than their income?

    If true, the return needs to be mailed, with all withholding forms attached. Go to Profile and remove the check mark for e-file. Be sure to give the client a large envelope for mailing to the correct address.

    because they had a large NOL carryforward that wiped out all income.

    Paper file, but remember to limit the NOL appropriately.
