A casualty loss will create an NOL.

Actually, casualty losses (even "personal" ones) ARE treated
as "business" deductions for NOL purposes. I once had
clients who ended up with an NOL based solely on a large
uninsured fire loss to their home.

Can a personal casualty loss create an NOL? An
investment casualty loss might, I suppose....

Or a casualty loss on Schedule A.

Individuals would find it difficult to have an NOL unless
a sole proprietor or a member of a partnership. Perhaps
that's what the IRS meant when you called them.

Without actually looking, I'd say the normal limitation to
filing a claim for refund, and the exception for when an NOL
is involved.

No effect. If you never made the election, you must use the
default five year carryback.

Default Need Clarification on Five Year Carrybacks for Years 2001 and 2002

Because of the 9/11 disaster, the government passed the Job
Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002, providing for a
5 year net operating loss carryback for 2001 and 2002 tax
years. The IRS came out with revenue procedure 2002-40 to
provide guidelines for these cases.

If you have a 1040 return for 2001 or 2002, and you a) did
NOT elect to forego any carrybacks, b) did NOT use a
standard two year carryback, then supposedly the five year
carryback must apply by law. In revenue procedure 2002-40,
Section 6 says:

"In that event, the period of limitations provided in
(section) 6511 will apply in the case of any claim for
refund on an amended return, and the period provided in
(section) 6411(a) will apply in the case of any tentantive
carryback adjustment, that is based on the 5-year carryback
period."

What are the periods of limitation specified by sections
6511 and 6411(a)?

What if either of the 2001 or 2002 returns were filed past
the deadline for the 1040? Would this affect the ability to
claim the five year carryback when the original 1040 is
submitted late?

If anyone cares, when the IRS was called they made the claim
that the five year carryback only applies to sole
proprietors and partnerships, not individuals or
corporations. Your tax dollars are hard at work.
