How much tax will Willow Corp. pay in 2020, what is its NOL carryover to 2021, and when will the NOL expire under the following assumptions?
a. $50,000 of the NOL was generated in 2016 and $40,000 of the NOL was generated in 2017.
b. $50,000 of the NOL was generated in 2018 and $40,000 was generated in 2019. Assume that Willow elects to forgo the carryback period on all NOLs eligible for carryback.

Answer 1

Willow Corp NOL carryover to 2021 (year 4) is $10,000

How to calculate Willow Corp NOL carryover to year 4

• Year 3 income = $100,000

Carry forward losses:

• Year 1 = $50,000
• Year 2 = $40,000

Total carry forward losses = $50,000 + $40,000

= $90,000

Eligible carry forward loss = $100,000 × 80%

= $100,000 × 0.8

= $80,000

Willow Corp tax liability in year 3 = $100,000 - $80,000 × 21%

= $20,000 × 21%

= 20,000 × 0.21

= $4,200

Willow Corp NOL carryover to year 4 = Total carry forward losses - Eligible carry forward loss

= $90,000 - $80,000

= $10,000
