why won't form 1045 allow me to carryback 5 years?

when I contacted tech support, they told me to pull up the form on the IRS website and attach it as a PDF.  Not cool.

There are no more 5-year carrybacks.

So either you have a 2-year farm NOL carryback or you have a 2021 NOL carryforward or you are catching up on a 2020 NOL and it's too late to use the 1045 so you have to file 1040X for the carryback year.
