Get your taxes done using TurboTax

HACKITOFF, are you saying that he can only use $10k of the carryforward because his $20k of S corp loss must be netted against his $30k of W-2 income, resulting in him having only $10k of his own income?  I hadn't considered that and actually seems more reasonable than what I originally thought.  In that case the amount on Schedule 1 line 21 would be negative $10k.
