How do I figure carryforward amounts for Form 3800?
Tax carryforwards are amounts from tax credits or business losses left over from previous years because they were greater than the total allowable carryover amount for that year. Your tax returns for past years should show the amounts of tax credits or carryovers, and the amounts that were not allowed. You will need to report this information on a required statement if you want to claim a carryforward to the current tax year.
