Thank you very much for that detailed explanation, Diane! That's very informative. Both my charitable donations (just some books and DVDs to my library) and my NOL are pretty small, both under $1000. Is there any point to leaving the job-seeking expenses and out-of-pocket medical expenses/health insurance premiums on there if they're just raising my audit risk? Those can't be carried over, from what I understand, and I owe no taxes with or without them...
