Hi,
I have a sole proprietorship in which my carryover expense on Form 8829 is larger than the income generated by the business. However, I would like to use just a portion of the carryover so that I can show enough earned income to claim an IRA deduction.
I've been reading through the instructions, as well as Pub 587, but I've not been able to find any rules describing the limitations for using the carryover in this regard.
Can I use all or part of the carryover in subsequent years as I choose, or, are there restrictions?
Thank you,
Bradley Owens
