How the "Net Operating Loss Carryback" works under the CARES Act

Under U.S. Federal income tax law, a net operating loss (NOL) occurs when certain tax-deductible expenses exceed taxable revenues for a taxable year.

Consequently, in some situations, Congress allows taxpayers to use the losses in one year to offset the profits of other years.
