I have a prior year NOL carry over that was not business related, it was due to the sell of land that there was a loss.  where do I go and enter that NOL info for the carryover?  I went to the business screen and enter the info into the NOL line, but it took the entire loss and you are only allowed to take a loss of $3000 per year.

    I think you mean you had a "capital loss" for the sale of the land.  I think that is entered in the section for Stocks, Bonds, etc.

     

    I am assuming you did not use TurboTax last year and/or did not import your information from last year's TurboTax, right?  Because that should automatically carry over.

     

    As a side note, this land was not used (or meant to be used) for personal use, right?  Because personal use would make the loss non-deductible.

    It was never used for personal purposes.  So where would I enter this NOL carryover amount in turbo tax?
