Arianna Edwards · Answer 1

A loss incurred by a corporation can be carried back 2 years, then carried forward up to 20 years following the loss - option B.

Explanation:

A loss incurred by a corporation can be carried back 2 years, then carried forward up to 20 years following the loss.

Meanwhile, the net operating loss incurred for tax years ending after 2017 can only be carried forward, it can no longer be carried backward.

Therefore, option B is the correct answer choice.
