If you have a loss carried forward you need to look at the older returns ... start with 2016. 

 

 

If you purchased Audit Defense for your tax return, call Tax Resources, Inc. at (877)-829-9695, or report your notice on their web site at http://intuit.taxaudit.com/. Do not contact the IRS. Let Tax Resources contact them for you.

If you did not purchase Audit Defense:

Then it will show you the phone number during posted business hours.

A Section 465 (d) carryover refers to the ‘at-risk’ rules of Section 465 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Under that section, your losses are limited to the amount you have at risk in the activity.  A loss that was disallowed because of the at-risk rules is generally treated as a deduction from the same activity in the following tax year (ie. carried over).

 

The amount you see for Section 465(d) carryover is the amount of loss you weren't able to take last year, but may be able to take this year.

 

If you are certain you didn't have a Section 465 (d) carryover from prior years, you can clear this up by adding a negative "Miscellaneous" expense  and describe it as  "Section 465 (d) carryover offset".

What type of business do you have?  It is rather unusual to have an At-Risk carryover.

 

It would likely be in your best interest to go to a tax professional for assistance.

have to agree with the advice to seek professional help.   depending on the activity there are different rules for determining at risk.  for an individual or even a single-member LLC an at-risk limit would be highly unusual.  for an S-Corp or Partnership (including a multimember LLC) the rules are completely different for each and at-risk limits are much more common. To complicate things basis and at-risk can be completely different. if the entity terminates, unless at-risk is positive before the suspended at-risk, those losses can never be used.
