NOL Net Operating Loss for Rental Properties

NOL Net Operating Loss for Rental Properties

 

I own 2 rental properties which generated losses in years 1,2 and 4 of existence. 

 

Year 1 was 2017 which I filed an incorrect tax return on.  I am getting reading to submit a corrected return for 2017. 

 

I have not filed taxes from 2018 thru 2022 because I knew I would not have any taxable income.  I am preparing 2018 – 2022 returns now.

 

 

I believe I am entitled to NOLs after reading IRS publication 536 on Net Operating Losses for Individuals.

 

Can I carry any of the NOL’s back to 2016 (I was a w-2 employee back then)?  Or should I just carry the NOLs forward at this point?
