My client had a NOL in 2020. His business started in 2018 and he was profitable in 2018 and 2019. I am trying to complete Form 1139 to carryback the 2020 NOL to 2018 and 2019 and then to carry it forward.

My understanding is first we need to file Form 1120 for 2020. Then, we need to complete Form 1139 and just fax that in.

In the software, is there a way to trigger Form 1139 to populate. I filled it out under Miscellaneous Forms --> Tentative Refund (1139) but it's not previewing when I press Preview Forms.
