PART I

 

ITEM 1: BUSINESS

 

A) General

 

Crown Equity Holdings Inc. formerly known as Micro Bio-Medical Waste Systems, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on August 31, 1995 as "Visioneering Corporation" under the laws of the State of Nevada. 

 

In December, 2010, the Company formed two wholly owned subsidiaries Crown Tele Services Inc. and CRWE Direct Inc. Crown Tele Services Inc. was formed to provide voice over internet services to clients at a competitive price, CRWE Direct Inc. was formed to provide direct sales to customers. Both entities had minimum sales during the year.

 

In December 2011, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary CRWE Real Estate Inc. to hold real estate. This entity had no sales during the year. The company sold the above subsidiaries (Crown Tele Services Inc., CRWE Direct, and CRWE Real Estate Inc.) on the 28th of December, 2016.

 

At the present time, the Company is offering its services to domestic and global companies seeking to become public entities in the United States. It has launched a website, www.crownequityholdings.com, which offers its services in a wide range of fields. The Company provides various consulting services to companies and individuals dealing with corporate structure and operations globally. The Company also provides public relations and news dissemination for publicly and privately held companies.

 

In 2009, the Company re-focused its primary vision to using its network of websites to provide advertising and marketing services, as a worldwide online media advertising publisher, dedicated to the distribution of quality branding information. The Company offers Internet media-driven advertising services, which cover and connect a wide range of marketing specialties, as well as search engine optimization for clients interested in online media awareness. As part of its operations, the Company has utilized the services of software and hardware technicians in developing its websites and adding additional websites. This allows the Company to disseminate news and press releases for its customers as well as general news and financial information on a much bigger scale than it did previously. The Company markets its services to companies seeking market awareness of them and the services or goods that they offer. The Company then publishes information concerning these companies on its many websites. The Company is paid in cash and/or stock of the customer companies. The condition of online publishing remains at an all-time high and is continuing to evolve and grow. It is to a point where online publishing is a key component of a publishing company's strategy in the print dominated market. No longer is the possession of printed reading material adding value to a reader's experience.

 

At the moment, the majority of the Company's publishing sites have light to relatively medium traffic. The Company is presently in the process of strengthening its online publishing competitive position with its strategy of producing and obtaining a stronger presence with its community targeted online news and information publishing. The Company has increased its web presence with the dedicated community targeted news and information publishing websites. The Company has increased its readership to create a stronger competitive position within the online publishing industry. The company is continuing its efforts with increasing its readership to obtain advertisers wanting to reach its viewership. 

 

The Company's office is located at 11226 Pentland Downs Street, Las Vegas NV 89141. The Company is provided office space by one of the officers and directors at no charge.

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company utilized the services of independent contractors during the year. Montse Zaman Arnulfo Sucedo-Bardan and Kenneth Bosket. Officers compensation is detailed in Part III, Item 11 of this filing.

 

Item 2: Properties

The Company settled the judgment with a one-time cash payment of $10,000 during the first quarter of 2016. The Company accrued $10,000 payable as of December 31, 2015.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS MAY NOT PROVE ACCURATE

 

When used in this Form 10-K, the words "anticipated", "estimate", "expect", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions including the possibility that the Company will fail to generate projected revenues. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected.

 

OVERVIEW

 

The following discussion of the financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and related notes included therein.

 

The Company was incorporated on August 31, 1995 as Visioneering Corporation. In 1999, the Company acquired 20/20 Web Design, Inc., a Colorado corporation wholly owned by Crown Partners, Inc. In August, 2009, Crown Partners transferred its shares of the Company to Crown Marketing Corporation ("Crown Marketing") in exchange for marketing and public relation services to be provided by Crown Marketing.

 

In July, 2009, the Company received a one-time licensing fee of $250,000 which it has utilized in funding its current operations. The Company also anticipates that as it proceeds with its planned advertising and marketing services, the revenues generated will be used to finance its operations in the short-term. The Company continues to search for additional areas in which it can generate revenue so that the Company will become profitable but there can be no guarantee that profitability will be achieved in the near- or long-term.

 

The Company will attempt to carry out its business plan as discussed below. The Company's business plan is to continue building its network of online publishing sites, as well as continuing to provide the consulting and services to its client on an as-needed basis. These services include general and financial management to private and public companies with an emphasis on their financial reporting and filing requirements. Such service is subject to the needs of its clients and may vary by company. The Company will attempt to carry out its business plan as described above. The Company cannot predict to what extent its lack of liquidity and capital resources will hinder its business plan prior to the consummation of a business combination.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Since inception, the Company's most significant change in liquidity or capital resources or stockholders' equity has been receipts of proceeds from offerings of its capital stock. The Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 reflects expanded assets and reduced liabilities from the previous year primarily due to company’s common stock purchases and conversion of notes payable to common shares. The revenue transaction does not reflect the ability of the Company to fund itself without outside sources in the future. Further, there exist no agreements or understandings with regard to loan agreements by or with the Officers, Directors, principals, affiliates or shareholders of the Company. In the past, officers and directors of the Company have lent or advanced monies to the Company to fund operations, there are no formal agreements or arrangements for them to continue to do so. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has $10,563 in cash and $15,616 of notes payable used for providing working capital to the company.

At December 31, 2016, the Company had negative working capital of $184,357 which consisted of current assets of $10,563 and current liabilities of $194,920. The current liabilities of the Company at December 31, 2016 are composed primarily of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $168,721, accounts payable to related party of $10,583 and, short-term debt of $9,500 and short-term debt due to related parties of $6,116.

 

Cash flows used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2016 was 165,193 compared to cash flow used of $67,906 for the same period in 2015. This represents an increase of $97,287.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities were $0 for both years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities was $173,208 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $67,985 for the same period in 2015. The financing activities in 2016 consisted of loan proceeds and payments and the sale of common stock.

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had total assets of $10,563 and total liabilities of $194,920. Stockholders' deficit as of December 31, 2016 was $11,073,069 compared to a deficit of $10,572,114 at December 31, 2015. The Company will attempt to carry out its plan of business as discussed above. The Company cannot predict to what extent its lack of liquidity and capital resources will hinder its business plan. The Company will need additional capital to fund that proposed operation.

 

NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING

 

The Company's existing capital may not be sufficient to meet the Company's cash needs, including the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management or other stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any funds will be available to the Company to allow it to cover its expenses.

 

The Company might seek to compensate providers of services by issuances of stock in lieu of cash.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2016 to the Year Ended December 31, 2015

Item 9: Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Item 9a: Controls & Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

For purposes of this section, the term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act") (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are not effective because of the identification of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which is identified below, which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

We have not yet made any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that there are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

The material weaknesses relate to the following:

 

 

-

Lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting, as our financial reporting and all accounting functions are performed by our Officers. Our Officers do not possess accounting expertise and our company does not have an audit committee.

 

-

Lack of a formal review process that includes multiple levels of review, as all accounting and financial reporting functions are performed by our Officers and the work is not reviewed by anyone.

 

-

Lack of expertise in accounting for and valuation of equity and marketable securities transactions.

 

 

 

 

-

Lack of control over identification of related parties.

 

These weaknesses are due to the company's lack of working capital to hire additional staff. To remedy the material weaknesses, we intend to engage another accountant to assist with financial reporting as soon as our finances will allow.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to the attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

 

The Company's management carried out an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. The Company's management based its evaluation on criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, management has concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2016.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

 

The Officers and Directors of the Company will devote most of their time to the Company however; there will be occasions when the time requirements of the Company's business conflict with the demands of their other business and investment activities. Such conflicts may require that the Company attempt to employ additional personnel. There is no assurance that the services of such persons will be available or that they can be obtained upon terms favorable to the Company.

 

There is no procedure in place which would allow the Officers and Directors to resolve potential conflicts in an arms-length fashion. Accordingly, they will be required to use their discretion to resolve them in a manner which they consider appropriate.

 

The Company's Officers and Directors may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of a portion of their common stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. It is anticipated that a substantial premium over the initial cost of such shares may be paid by the purchaser in conjunction with any sale of shares by the Company's Officers and Directors which is made as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. The fact that a substantial premium may be paid to the Company's Officers and Directors to acquire their shares creates a potential conflict of interest for them in satisfying their fiduciary duties to the Company and its other shareholders. Even though such a sale could result in a substantial profit to them, they would be legally required to make the decision based upon the best interests of the Company and the Company's other shareholders, rather than their own personal pecuniary benefit.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Crown Equity Holdings, Inc.

Las Vegas, Nevada

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. has historically suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficit which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Business

 

Crown Equity Holdings Inc. ("Crown Equity", “our”, “we”, or the "Company") was incorporated in August 1995 in Nevada. The Company offers through its digital network of websites, advertising branding, marketing solutions and other services to boost customer awareness, as well as merchant visibility as a worldwide online multi-media publisher. The Company focuses on the distribution of information for the purpose of bringing together its audience with the advertisers that want to reach them. Its advertising services cover and connect a range of marketing specialties, as well as provide search engine optimization for clients interested in online media awareness. Crown Equity Holdings' objective is making its endeavor known as CRWE WORLD into a global online news and information source, as well as a global one stop shop for various distinct products and services. The Company also offers services to companies seeking to become public entities in the United States, as well as providing various consulting services to companies and individuals dealing with corporate structure and operations globally. 

 

In 2010, the Company formed two subsidiaries Crown Tele Services, Inc. and CRWE Direct, Inc. Crown Tele Services Inc. was formed to provide voice over IP messaging at a competitive price to other competitors and CRWE Direct was formed to provide its client with direct sales of products.

 

In 2011, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary CRWE Real Estate Inc. CRWE Real Estate Inc. was formed to hold real estate. CRWE Real Estate Inc., Crown Tele Services, Inc. and CRWE Direct, Inc. were sold in December of 2016 for aggregate consideration of $100 resulting in a gain of $5,967.

 

In 2016, the company sale of the subsidiaries is not considered to be a strategic shift since there were minimal activities during the year in the subsidiaries.

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial information of Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. At the end of 2016, the following subsidiaries were divested and are not included in the financial statements: Crown Tele Services Inc., CRWE Direct Inc. and CRWE Real Estate, Inc.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 
F-6
 
 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Crown Equity considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with ASC 718 requiring employee equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value method. Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50. Equity instruments issued to other than employees are valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments and is recognized as expense over the service period. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for common stock options and the closing price of the Company's common stock for common share issuances.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Crown Equity's revenue is recognized pursuant to ASC 605 "Revenue Recognition." The Company recognizes its revenue from services as those services are performed. Revenue recognition is limited to the amount that is not contingent upon delivery of any future service or meeting other specified performance conditions.

 

The Company recognizes its revenue from the display of impression and click based ads, as well as from its publishing distribution service and domain name registration products and recognizes revenue when the service is provided.

 

Services are normally completed as described on the sales invoice issued for the service provided. In most cases the services is a one-time completion and recognized when the service is completed.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company establishes an allowance for bad debts through a review of several factors including historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer accounts, and financial condition of our customers. The Company does not generally require collateral for our accounts receivable. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Concentrations

 

In 2016, the Company’s revenues received were based on the company’s consulting services which were (100%) from one customer and from the displaying of click based and impressions ads located on the company’s websites; name registration from the company’s domain website, and the company’s news and press release publishing and distribution services. In 2015, the Company’s revenues were generated from the display of impression and click based ads, as well as from its publishing distribution service and domain name registration product.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Crown Equity's general and administrative expenses consisted of the following types of expenses during 2016 and 2015: Compensation expense, payroll expense, rent, travel and entertainment, legal and accounting, utilities, web sites, office expenses, depreciation and other administrative related expenses.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs associated with repair and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency of our property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the related asset. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3 to 5 years. Depreciation expense during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 totaled $0 and $618, respectively.

 

 
F-7
 
 

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical-cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the asset by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is estimated based upon either discounted cash flow analysis or estimated salvage value. No impairment charge was recorded in 2016 or 2015.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share calculations are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. They include the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents in years with net income. Basic and diluted net loss per share are the same due to the absence of common stock equivalents.

 

Income Taxes

 

Crown Equity recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. Crown Equity provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

 

Uncertain tax position

 

The Company also follows the guidance related to accounting for income tax uncertainties. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. No liability for unrecognized tax benefits was recorded as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 Inputs – Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

 

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and debt. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Crown Equity does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on their financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

 
F-8
 
 

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, Crown Equity has historically suffered losses from operations and had a working capital deficit as of December 31, 2016. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to Crown Equity's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if Crown Equity is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Crown Equity continues to review its expense structure reviewing costs and their reduction to move towards profitability. Management plans to continue raising funds through debt and equity financing to grow the business to profitability.

 

NOTE 3 – NOTES PAYABLE

 

During 2016 the Company borrowed an aggregate $57,000 under the following transactions:

 

 

·

During February 2016, the Company entered into a one year, convertible at $0.50/share, 12% interest bearing note for $40,000 with a related party. The note was $30,000 cash and $10,000 in expense paid on behalf of the Company. This note was converted in full during the year in accordance with the terms.

 

·

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company follows ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. During 2009, there was a change in control of the Company. Under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code such a change in control negates much of the tax loss carry forward and deferred income tax. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carry forwards. For federal income tax purposes, the Company uses the accrual basis of accounting, the same that is used for financial reporting purposes.

 

The Company did not have taxable income during 2016 or 2015.

 

The Company's deferred tax assets consisted of the following as of December 31, 2016 and 2015:

As of December 31, 2016, the Company's accumulated net operating loss carry forward was approximately $1,663,924 and will begin to expire in the year 2032. Federal income tax returns have not been examined and reported upon by the Internal Revenue Service; returns of the years since 2014 are still open.

 

The 2017 Act reduces the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. For net operating losses (NOLs) arising after December 31, 2017, the 2017 Act limits a taxpayer’s ability to utilize NOL carryforwards to 80% of taxable income. In addition, NOLs arising after 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely, but carryback is generally prohibited. NOLs generated in tax years beginning before January 1, 2018 will not be subject to the taxable income limitation. The 2017 Act would generally eliminate the carryback of all NOLs arising in a tax year ending after 2017 and instead would permit all such NOLs to be carried forward indefinitely.
