A loss carryover refers to a tax provision that allows businesses or individuals to use their net operating losses from previous years to offset their taxable income in future years. This means that if a company or individual incurs a loss in one year, they can carry forward that loss and deduct it from their taxable income in subsequent years, reducing their overall tax liability. The loss carryover provision is designed to provide relief to businesses or individuals who experience financial difficulties in one year but are able to recover and generate profits in future years.
