NOL is an acronym for Net Operating Loss. An NOL is the excess of allowable deductions over gross income, computed under the law in effect for the loss year, with required adjustments for other years’ NOL carryovers or carrybacks, exemptions, and nonbusiness deductions. This means you can either carry it back or make an election to carry it forward by the due date of the return. Nonbusiness capital losses are only allowed up to nonbusiness capital gains.
Use form 1045 to carryback your NOL.
