Application of an NOL (Example)
In this example, 2022 is the loss year. The loss amount is ($249,000) (shown on line 7). The taxpayer has Idaho 
absorption income of $73,500 in 2020 and $44,900 in 2021 (shown on line 8). $73,500 of the ($249,000) loss 
is used in 2020. Since the carryback is limited to $100,000, only $26,500 of the loss can be used in 2021. The 
remainder of the loss ($149,000) is available to be used in the next 20 years (remaining loss).
