Common mistakes

  • Leaving out the worksheet: It must be filed with the 2024 CIT-1 when an NOL deduction is claimed.
  • Completing an inapplicable section: Sections 1 and 2 are only for carryovers from their specified tax years.
  • Combining filing-group members on one loss schedule: Complete the applicable section separately for each corporation with losses.
  • Confusing a loss with a deduction: Section 1, line 2 asks for the loss reported in that year, not the NOL deduction claimed that year.
  • Using the wrong apportionment percentage: Use the percentage reported for the year of the loss.
  • Entering a negative Section 1 balance: If Section 1, line 6 is negative, enter zero.
  • Overstating loss use in Section 2: The total deductions listed on line 5a cannot exceed the apportioned loss on line 4.
