NOL carryover 2019

I have a qualified business income loss (form 8995) from 2019. Does turbotax automatically carry over the amount to tax year 2020? Should I manually enter it in the "Net Operating Loss/QBI carryforward loss" section tax year 2020?

if you were in the same a/c as 2019 the losses should have carried over.  however, 8995, if for qualified business income/loss (199A) and does not necessarily represent the net loss. QBI started in 2018 so losses before then are not included for this purpose. 

 

 

you say net operating loss - that's a concept that relates to a return as a whole and not to a specific activity.  the net loss from a specific activity that is disallowed because of the passive activity rules gets reported with that activity and as mentioned can be different from the QBI loss

I had an unallowed net operating loss from 2019 that turbo tax carried over as a subtraction in my 2020 taxes, I

want to know if this is correct.  I also contributed $12,000 to two 529 accounts and I received no discounts on the  double EE bond interest, and I also want to know if this is correct.  I cannot get an expert from Turbo Tax to call ne?   I keep getting community answers which do not help me.
