The real issue (besides Lacerte) not handling this automatically is :  You have a Form 500 NOL which is multiple pages and guess how long the instructions are for these multiple pages?;  1 page .

While talking with the Georgia Department of Revenue ; I told several agents : It's a crying **bleep** shame that you have a 3-4 page form with a single page for the instructions. Not one example is provided in computing a Georgia NOL. NOT one.   

Another interesting fact: ask 3 separate agents the same question and you will get 3 separate differing answers.....

Should I go on.......

As I live and breathe in Georgia; Nothing surprises me anymore - not even the election results. 😞
