If I want to take advantage of the CAREs act changes that will allow me to carryback and NOL on an SCorporation return from 2018 to 2017, where do I enter this in Proseries 1120S software?

That will be up to the shareholders of the S Corp. The S Corp itself does not have anything to do with a NOL

Thank you all for your answers.  I appreciate the input and your time in reading and thinking through.  In order to show the NOL carryback on my 2017 SCorp return so that it flows through on the K-1 for the shareholder to make a decisions, should I just add a deduction and explanation?  No special forms or anything are required?

An S-Corp doesn't HAVE an NOL.    S-Corps report out all income/loss/deductions annually via the K-1s.   IF there's a deductible loss flowing to the individual Form 1040, AND a net operating loss is generated on the individual F 1040, the individual can take advantage of the NOL carryback options.

If you need to amend the F 1120-S, there will be amended K-1's to distribute.
