FOR T-KAY ONLY 6 Discussion Question 1

e-Activity

Go to the Internal Revenue Service Website, located at 


http://www.irs.gov


, to search and read the latest filing year’s “Publication 536.” Take notes on the rules for deducting a net operating loss (NOL).

• From the e-Activity, make a recommendation about the timing of the deduction to a client that would maximize the tax benefit of an NOL deduction. Provide a rationale to support your recommendation.
• Debate it! The rules for deducting casualty and theft losses are unfair and must be changed. Give support for your reasons.

 The answers do not have to be long.  Only about 1 or 2 paragraphs each.
