i agree with that.  had to go back and recreate NOLS for the 2109 returns that had correspondence and even now, the extra time cannot be billed to the client.  The form is a joke and either the state needs to step up or lacerte needs to do something.  Lacerte obviously is tracking the NOL as it carries something forward but there are no worksheets showing where that number comes from or how it is calculated.  I have wasted way too much time on this issue.
