The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act added Section 461(l) to the Internal Revenue Code, limiting losses previously available. To the extent a taxpayer has an “excess business loss” for the tax year under Section 461(l), that portion of the taxpayer’s overall loss becomes a net operating loss (NOL) carried forward to future tax years and subject to the new rules that govern NOL generated after 2017. Many owners of S corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies are now subject to numerous loss limitation provisions. This program covers each loss limitation provision and how they relate to each other, focusing particular attention on Section 461(l).
