S corporations do not carry forward losses from one tax year to the next tax year. Instead, net business profits (income) and net business losses are passed through to the shareholder(s) on Line 1 of Schedule K-1 (1120-S) each tax year.
You need to have basis in the corporation in order to recognize a pass-through loss on your personal income tax return. Your basis is tracked on Form 7203. See Instructions for Form 7203: Shareholder Basis.
