Is QBI carryover and NOL the same thing? Went out of business in 2022. No income from business in 2023. Have a 18,273 loss carryover. Can i use the carryover for 2023?

Can I use the $18,273.00  QBI loss on 2023 taxes If i had wages but zero business income in 2023?

[Mike9241]

they are different 

wages are not QBI income so a QBI loss will not be usable against wages only QBI income. 

if you have a business loss you likely have a QBI loss 

a QBI loss offsets current year QBI income with any excess becoming a carryforward forever until used or the taxpayer dies or the law changes.

an NOL can be completely different from a QBI loss. wages are business income for NOL purposes but not QBI as explained above

to see if you had an NOL for 2022 use form 1045 schedule A or PUB 536
