New tax relief for businesses

New legislation was passed that includes significant tax relief for struggling companies. The provision temporarily allows businesses with net operating losses (NOL) for '08 or '09 to carry back those losses for up to five years. NOL carryback allows businesses to offset one year's losses against another year's income and recover past tax payments, generating cash for the enterprise.
