Net Operating Losses <-中文是? - 會計

sorry, no idea if i'm in the right board...

got a question about net operating losses (NOL).



Gus, who is married and files a joint return, owns a grocery store.

In 2008, his gross sales were $276,000, and operating expenses were $320,000.

Other items on his 2008 return were as follows:

nonbusiness capital gains (short term) $20,000

nonbusiness capital losses (long term) 9,000

itemized deductions (no casualty or theft) 18,000

ordinary nonbusiness income 8,000

salary from part-time job 10,000

During the year 2006, Gus had no taxable income. In 2007, Gus had taxable

income of $22,300 computed as follows:

net business income $60,000

interest income 2,000
_________
adjusted gross income $62,000

less: itemized deductions

charitable contributions of $40,000,

limited to 50% of AGI $31,000

medical expenses of $6,550,

limited to the amount of 7.5% of AGI 1,900
________
total itemized deductions (32,900)

exemptions (2 x $3,400) (6,800)
_________
taxable income $22,300
=========

a. What is Gus's 2008 NOL?

b. Determine Gus's recomputed taxable income for 2007.

c. Determine the amount of Gus's 2008 NOL to be carried forward to 2009.
