Short Statement: Form 1139 is filed by corporations that expect to have a net operating loss, net capital loss, or unused general business credits carried back to a prior tax year. PL 111-5, The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, permits for a 5-year carryback of 2008 net operating losses for eligible small businesses. As a result of this this new allowance and the economic conditions of the past year(2008) results in estimated increase of 750 responses of Form 1139.
