Here is a brief edited example.... Lets assume the C Corporate Tax Return for 2006 generated taxable income of $30,000 and 2007 taxable income was $40,000. For the current year, the corporation lost $100,000 and paid in estimated taxes of $10,000 for 2008... Based upon this example, the corporation would receive its $10,000 estimated taxes back and could carryback the $100,000 loss back to 2006 and 2007 and recover those taxes paid in those years. In addition, the remaining $30,000 unused losses could be carried forward to year ended 2009 and offset against future taxable incomes....Please consult a tax professional to go over the exact details of your situation...

Companies that have sole proprietorships or pass thru entities like a S Corporation and/LLC may be able to recover business taxes at the personal level. Once again, obtain all your information for 2008 and sit down with a qualified professional to plan out and execute your situation...
