NOLs Can Now Offset 100% of Taxable Income (Through 2028)

December 9, 2025

One of the key business provisions in the Big Beautiful Bill expands the Net Operating Loss (NOL) rules through 2028. Here’s what changed:

  • Previously, NOLs could only offset up to 80% of taxable income
  • Now, businesses can use NOLs to fully offset 100% of taxable income in a given year
  • This applies to both new and carried-forward losses

This provides significant planning flexibility — especially for clients with fluctuating income, large investments, or cyclical industries.

We’ll review your prior and current-year returns to determine whether you can carry forward or carry back NOLs to generate refunds or reduce this year’s tax bill.
