Short Statement: This is a new form developed as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 limiting the losses attributable to the trade or businesses of non-corporate taxpayers. Losses in excess of a threshold amount ($250,000 for all filers except for married filing jointly, which is $500,000) are not allowed to be deducted in the current year. That amount is adjusted for inflation. However, the amount of the excess business loss is treated as a net operating loss carryover to the 2019 tax year. Taxpayers use the new Form 461 to compute the excess business loss. The excess business loss is treated as an additional income item on the tax return. The burden listed in the collection is applicable to all other filers except business filers which is accounted for under OMB control number 1545-0123.
