The client was a real estate professional. They bought a piece real estate which they spent a lot of time and money on repair while collecting rent. There was a large rental loss. The rental loss was so large that their ordinary income and other income was not enough to offset the loss. (the loss was nonpassive which can be used to lower their ordinary income because they are real estate professional and materially participated). I used ProSeries last year. In last year’s return, there was NOL in the Carryover Worksheet.

The only place I think the NOL should be reported is under “Income” then under “Net Operating Loss” in the “Federal Net Operating Loss” screen in ProConnect.

I am sorry for the confusion. I hope this makes sense. Please let me know what you think. Thank you.
