On November 6, 2009, the "Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009" (the "Act") was signed into law. While primarily directed at extending unemployment compensation benefits, the Act provides a significant opportunity for taxpayers that have net operating losses in 2008 and 2009 to trigger tax refunds by carrying those losses up to five years back, rather than the two years generally provided under existing law. It is estimated that this extended carryback period could generate up to $33 billion in additional tax refunds for affected taxpayers.
