Support CenterForm 1045 - Application for Tentative Refund
Form 1045 is filed to carry back the following:
net operating loss (NOL)
unused general business credit can be carried back only one year
net section 1256 contracts loss.
If you have a net operating loss or unused credits and choose to carry them back to the third preceding year, you will use this form. This form is activated when you fill in the date the current year's tax return was filed. When you fill in this date, Worksheet 1 and, if applicable, Worksheet 2, will activate to see if you have a carryover to the second or first preceding years.
Waiving the carryback period
A person can elect to carry an NOL forward only, instead of first carrying it back.
A person must file Form 1045 within 1 year after the end of the year in which an NOL, unused credit, a net section 1256 contract loss, or claim of right adjustments arose.
Form 1040X or Other Amended Return
Individuals can get a refund by filing Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, instead of Form 1045. A person generally must file an amended return no later than 3 years after the due date of the return for the applicable year.
Line 1b

A section 1256 contract is any regulated futures contract, foreign currency contract, nonequity option, dealer equity option, or dealer securities futures contract. See IRS Publication 550 for more information.
Line 9
If an NOL or net section 1256 contracts loss carryback eliminates or reduces a prior year foreign tax credit, you cannot use this form to carry the released foreign tax credits to earlier years. See the IRS instructions for more information.
