Hello, On page 2 of Form 172 instruction for NOL, there is a 80% limitation as showing below.  How do we apply NOL carry forward from 2024 to 2025? Please advise. Thank you! ...Only NOLs arising after 2017 and carried forward to a year after 2020 are subject to the 80%-of-taxable-income limit. The total amount of any NOL deduction for 2021 or thereafter that is attributable to NOLs from tax years after 2017 can’t exceed 80% of taxable income without regard to the NOL deduction or sections 199A or 250. 3tax168

While working through the interview in the TurboTax Premier Desktop version to determine my estimated quarterly tax payments for 2026 prior to filing my TY2025 return, I needed to refer back to the pending return for figures to determine the estimated 2026 values by viewing several of the completed forms within TurboTax. (Of course, if working on this task *after* my return is filed, I merely need to open the saved PDF of my return, park it next to the worksheet window, and scroll through as needed, but I normally take care of estimated taxes before filing my current return.) After obtaining the value needed for each specific item being queried, I closed the form being viewed to return to the interview. I had to repeat this action at least a half-dozen times for the various data items I needed to enter. Each time I did this, TurboTax took me to the initial screen of the estimating process, and it was necessary to pass through every screen I had already completed to get back to where I left off. While none of the previously entered data was disturbed, it still seemed rather pointless to have to step through every previous screen for all the categories of income or deductions to come back to the current point of data entry.    Instead, I recommend for future TurboTax editions one of these two suggestions for improvement: 1) After closing the form being viewed, take the user back to the screen being viewed when the View Form command was evoked, or perhaps better, 2) For the estimated tax screen being viewed, display any data for the current year already entered for the same item for which the estimated data is being requested, even if the value is "$0", similar to how the two-year comparison screens are handled; for example, "Enter 2026 estimated total Qualified Dividends: $_________. From your 2025 return, this amount is $10,125"

I moved from NC to MN. My state wages are accurate for MN as a portion of the year, but my company listed my state wages for NC as the full amount of my wages from the year and should only be a fraction, which should result in a tax refund from NC.
