Net operating losses; Virginia modifications in the loss year

# A.

Generally. Each item that is a component of the federal net operating loss must be examined to see if a Virginia modification is required to be made to that item. To the extent that a Virginia modification is required, the net amount of such modifications shall become associated with the federal net operating loss. (See 23VAC10-110-83.)

In addition to the modifications enumerated under 23VAC10-110-80, a modification shall be made to any other item that is a component of the federal net operating loss that Virginia law treats dissimilarly.

# B.

Zero bracket amount. There is no provision in the Code of Virginia for the allowance of a deduction for an amount equal to the federal zero bracket amount. In cases where taxpayers for federal purposes do not itemize deductions, all or part of the federal zero bracket amount may be included in the amount of federal net operating loss. To the extent that any amount of the federal zero bracket amount is included in the federal net operating loss, a positive Virginia modification is required. (See example 3.)
