For federal purposes, Marwen has reported federal net operating losses (NOLs) totaling $75,872 arising from previous years rental activities. These NOLs will expire, if not utilized, between the years 2021 and 2022. Marwen has not recorded a tax benefit for these NOLs for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, because it is unlikely that Marwen will be able to realize the benefit.
