NOL

Last year my client had over a $100000 loss on her business and I was thinking of going back and filing an Application for Tentative Refund" (form 1045) which was not done
On last year's filing, I checked the box to not transfer the NOL to this year and this year, 2020; however my client can use the loss carryforward. Is there a process to "uncheck" the box and bring the loss forward? Is this just a software issue or is there a process I need to go through with the IRS to bring the loss forward. I use ProSeries.
Thank you

It is too late to do a 1045 for 2019. You would need to do a 1040X.

What year was the NOL?

Did checking the box produce an election to waive the carryback?

The more I know the more I don’t know.

If you did not check any boxes, then what does this mean?

"On last year's filing, I checked the box to not transfer the NOL to this year and this year, 2020; however my client can use the loss carryforward. Is there a process to "uncheck" the box and bring the loss forward?
