2023 Instructions for Schedule J  
Use Schedule J (Form 1040) to elect to figure your 2023 income tax by averaging,  
over the previous 3 years (base years), all or part of your 2023 taxable income from  
your trade or business of farming or fishing. This election may give you a lower tax if  
your 2023 income from farming or fishing is high and your taxable income for 1 or  
more of the 3 prior years was low.  
Income  
Averaging for  
Farmers and  
Fishermen  
In order to qualify for this election, you aren't required to have been in the business  
of farming or fishing during any of the base years.  
You may elect to average farming or fishing income even if your filing status wasn't  
the same in the election year and the base years.  
This election doesn't apply when figuring your alternative minimum tax on Form  
6251. Also, you don't have to refigure, because of this election, the tax liability of any  
minor child who was required to use your tax rates in the prior years.

gains, losses, and deductions attributable  
to your farming or fishing business. If  
you conduct both farming and fishing  
businesses, you must figure your elected  
farm income by combining income,  
gains, losses, and deductions attributable  
to your farming and fishing businesses.

Your elected farm income is the  
amount of your taxable income from  
farming or fishing that you elect to in-  
clude on line 2a.  
Elected farm income also includes  
any gain or loss from the sale or other  
disposition of property regularly used in  
your farming or fishing business for a  
substantial period of time. However, if  
such gain or loss is realized after cessa-  
tion of the farming or fishing business,  
the gain or loss is treated as attributable  
to a farming or fishing business only if  
the property is sold within a reasonable  
time after cessation of the farming or  
fishing business. A sale or other disposi-  
tion within 1 year of the cessation is pre-  
sumed to be within a reasonable time.

loss limitation rules are suspended dur-  
ing those years and replaced by the ex-  
cess business loss limitation rules for tax  
years beginning after 2020 and before  
2029. The at-risk limits and the passive  
activity limits are applied before calcu-  
lating the amount of any excess business  
loss. The amount of any excess business  
loss allocable to your farming or fishing  
business(es) is not used in calculating

Keep for Your Records  
Complete this worksheet if you didn’t use Schedule J to figure your tax for 2021 and 2022 and your 2020 taxable income was zero or  
less. See the instructions for line 5 before completing this worksheet.  
1. Figure the taxable income from your 2020 tax return (or as previously adjusted) without limiting it to  
zero. If you had an NOL for 2020, don't include any NOL carryovers or carrybacks to 2020. Enter the  
result as a positive amount . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.  
2. If there is a loss on your 2020 Schedule D, line 21, add that loss (as a positive  
amount) and your 2020 capital loss carryover to 2021. Subtract from that sum the  
amount of the loss on your 2020 Schedule D, line 16, and enter the result . . . . . . . .  
2.  
3. If you had an NOL for 2020, enter it as a positive amount. Otherwise, enter as a  
positive amount the portion, if any, of the NOL carryovers and carrybacks to 2020  
that weren't used in 2020 and were carried to years after 2020 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

reported as your taxable income had you  
been required to file a tax return. Be  
sure to keep all your records for 2020  
for at least 3 years after April 15, 2024  
(or the date you file your 2023 tax re-  
turn, if later).  
Example. A farmer, who is single,  
didn't use income averaging for 2020,  
2021, or 2022. For 2023, the farmer has  
$18,000 of elected farm income on  
Schedule J, line 2a. The taxable income  
on the farmer’s 2020 Form 1040,  
line 15, is $850. However, the farmer  
had a $14,700 NOL for 2021, $9,000 of  
which was remaining to carry to 2020  
after the NOL was carried back to 2019.  
To complete line 1 of the 2020 Taxable  
Income Worksheet, the farmer combines  
the $9,000 NOL deduction with the  
$850 from the farmer’s 2020 Form  
1040, line 15. The result is a negative  
$8,150, the farmer’s 2020 taxable in-  
come, which the farmer enters as a posi-  
tive amount on line 1 of the 2020 Taxa-  
ble Income Worksheet.  
loss deduction reduced the amount of  
the 2021 NOL carryback. As a result,  
only $5,150 ($9,000 – $850 – $3,000 =  
$5,150) was available to carry to 2022  
and later years, as shown on the farmer’s  
2021 Form 1045, Schedule B, line 10.  
The farmer enters the $5,150 on line 3  
of the worksheet, and $8,150 ($5,150  
plus the $3,000 line 2 amount) on line 4.  
The farmer then subtracts the $8,150  
from the $8,150 on line 1 and enters the  
result, $0, on line 5 of the worksheet.  
The farmer enters a $0 on Schedule J,  
line 5. The farmer combines that amount  
with the $6,000 on Schedule J, line 6,  
and enters $6,000 on Schedule J, line 7.  
Instructions for 2020 Taxable  
Income Worksheet  
Line 2. Any net capital loss deduction  
on your 2020 Schedule D, line 21, isn't  
allowed for income averaging purposes  
to the extent it didn't reduce your capital  
loss carryover to 2021. This could hap-  
pen if the taxable income—shown on  
your 2020 Form 1040, line 15, or your  
2020 Form 1040-NR, line 15 (or as pre-  
viously adjusted)—was less than zero.  
Enter on line 2 the amount by which  
your 2020 capital loss carryover to 2021  
(the sum of your short- and long-term  
capital loss carryovers) exceeds the ex-  
cess of the loss on your 2020 Sched-  
ule D, line 16, over the loss on your  
2020 Schedule D, line 21. If you had  
any net operating loss (NOL) carrybacks  
to 2020, be sure you refigured your 2020  
capital loss carryover to 2021.  
Line 8  
If line 7 is zero, enter -0- on line 8. Oth-  
erwise, figure the tax on the amount on  
line 7 using:  
When the farmer filed the 2020 tax  
return, the farmer had a $3,000 net capi-  
tal loss deduction on Schedule D, line 21  
(which was also entered on Form 1040,  
line 7); a $7,000 loss on Schedule D,  
line 16; and a $4,000 capital loss carry-  
over to 2021. However, when the farmer  
carried back the 2021 NOL ($9,000 of  
which was carried to 2020), the farmer  
refigured the 2020 capital loss carryover  
to 2021 as $7,000. The farmer adds the  
$3,000 from Schedule D, line 21, and  
the $7,000 capital loss carryover. The  
farmer subtracts from the $10,000 result  
the $7,000 loss on the Schedule D,  
line 16, and enters $3,000 on line 2 of  
the worksheet.

Line 3. If you had an NOL for 2020,  
enter the amount of that NOL from the  
2020 Form 1045, Schedule A, line 24,  
you filed with Form 1045 or Form  
1040X. If you didn't have an NOL for

When completing the Schedule D  
Tax Worksheet, you must allocate 1/3 of  
the amount on Schedule J, line 2b, (and  
1/3 of the amount on line 2c, if any) to  
2020. If for 2020 you had a capital loss  
that resulted in a capital loss carryover  
to 2021, don't reduce the elected farm  
income allocated to 2020 by any part of  
the carryover.

Worksheet if you use either of those worksheets to figure the tax on line 4 above. Complete the rest of that worksheet through line 6 (line 10 if  
you use the Schedule D Tax Worksheet). Next, you must determine if you had a capital gain excess. To find out if you had a capital gain excess,  
subtract the amount from your 2023 Schedule J, line 7, from line 6 of your 2020 Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet (line 10  
of your 2020 Schedule D Tax Worksheet). If the result is more than zero, that amount is your capital gain excess.  
If you didn't have a capital gain excess, complete the rest of either of those worksheets according to the worksheet's instructions. Then  
complete lines 5 and 6 above.  
If you had a capital gain excess, complete a second 2020 Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet or 2020 Schedule D Tax  
Worksheet (whichever applies) as instructed above but in its entirety and with the following additional modifications. Then complete lines 5  
and 6 above. These modifications are to be made only for purposes of filling out the 2020 Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet above.

also had a $7,000 capital loss carryover  
to 2022.

If you used Schedule J to figure your tax  
for:

1040-SR, or Form 1040-NR, line 16; or  
2022 Form 1040-X, line 6), enter on  
line 9 the amount from your 2022  
Schedule J, line 15; or  
The farmer adds the $3,000 from  
Schedule D, line 21, and the $7,000 cap-

from the $10,000 result the $7,000 loss  
on the Schedule D, line 16, and enters  
$3,000 on line 2 of the worksheet.

The farmer enters $14,500 on line 3  
of the worksheet, the 2021 NOL from  
their 2021 Form 1045, Schedule A,  
line 24. Of the $29,900 negative taxable  
income, the $0 deduction for the suspen-  
ded exemptions, the $3,000 capital loss  
deduction, and the farmer’s $12,400  
standard deduction weren’t allowed in  
figuring the NOL. The farmer had a  
$14,500 loss on the 2021 Schedule F, the  
only other item on the farmer’s 2021 tax  
return.  
Line 3. If you had an NOL for 2021,  
enter the amount of that NOL from the  
2021 Form 1045, Schedule A, line 24,  
you filed with Form 1045 or Form  
1040-X. If you didn't have an NOL for  
2021, enter the portion, if any, of the  
NOL carryovers and carrybacks to 2021  
that weren't used in 2021 and were car-  
ried to years after 2021.  
If you figured your tax for both 2021  
and 2022 without using Schedule J, en-  
ter on line 9 the taxable income from  
your 2021 tax return (or as previously  
adjusted by the IRS, or corrected on an  
amended return). But if that amount is  
zero or less, complete the worksheet be-  
low to figure the amount to enter on  
line 9.  
Example. The farmer didn't use in-  
come averaging for 2020, 2021, or 2022.  
The taxable income on the farmer’s  
2021 Form 1040, line 15, is a negative  
$29,900. The deduction for exemptions  
has been suspended. The farmer sub-  
tracts from the $29,900 loss the $0 de-  
duction for the suspended exemptions.  
The result is a negative $29,900, the  
farmer’s 2021 taxable income, which the  
farmer enters as a positive amount on  
line 1 of the 2021 Taxable Income  
Worksheet.  
If you didn't file a tax return for  
2021, use the amount you would have  
reported as your taxable income had you  
been required to file a tax return. Be  
sure to keep all your records for 2021  
until at least 3 years after April 15, 2024  
(or the date you file your 2023 tax re-  
turn, if later).  
The farmer enters $17,500 (the  
$3,000 line 2 amount plus the $14,500  
line 3 amount) on line 4 and $12,400  
(the $29,900 line 1 amount minus the  
$17,500 line 4 amount) on line 5. The  
farmer enters $12,400 as a negative  
amount on Schedule J, line 9. The farm-  
er enters $6,000 on Schedule J, line 10,  
and a negative $6,200 on Schedule J,  
line 11. If the farmer uses Schedule J to  
figure their tax for 2024, the farmer will  
enter the negative $6,200 amount on  
their 2024 Schedule J as the farmer’s  
2021 taxable income for income averag-  
ing purposes.

Worksheet if you use either of those worksheets to figure the tax on line 4 above. Complete the rest of that worksheet through line 6 (line 10 if  
you use the Schedule D Tax Worksheet). Next, you must determine if you had a capital gain excess. To find out if you had a capital gain excess,  
subtract the amount from your 2023 Schedule J, line 11, from line 6 of your 2021 Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet (line 10  
of your 2021 Schedule D Tax Worksheet). If the result is more than zero, that amount is your capital gain excess.  
If you didn't have a capital gain excess, complete the rest of either of those worksheets according to the worksheet's instructions. Then  
complete lines 5 and 6 above.  
If you had a capital gain excess, complete a second 2021 Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet or 2021 Schedule D Tax  
Worksheet (whichever applies) as instructed above but in its entirety and with the following additional modifications. Then complete lines 5  
and 6 above. These modifications are to be made only for purposes of filling out the 2021 Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet above.  
1. Reduce (but not below zero) the amount you would otherwise enter on line 3 of your 2021 Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax

Worksheet or line 6 of your 2021 Schedule D Tax Worksheet by any of your capital gain excess not used in (1) above.  
3. Reduce (but not below zero) the amount on your 2021 Schedule D (Form 1040), line 18, by your capital gain excess.  
4. Include your capital gain excess as a loss on line 16 of your 2021 Unrecaptured Section 1250 Gain Worksheet in the 2021 Instructions for  
Schedule D (Form 1040).

if you could have entered a negative  
amount on that line. Enter on line 2 the  
amount by which your 2022 capital loss  
carryover to 2023 (the sum of your  
short- and long-term capital loss carry-  
overs) exceeds the excess of the loss on  
your 2022 Schedule D, line 16, over the  
loss on your 2022 Schedule D, line 21.  
tal loss deduction on Schedule D, line 21  
(which was also entered on Form 1040,  
line 7); a $7,000 loss on Schedule D,  
line 16; and a $5,000 capital loss carry-  
over to 2023 (the farmer’s 2022 capital  
loss carryover to 2023 was $5,000, not  
$4,000, because the amount on the Form  
1040, line 15, would have been a nega-  
tive $1,000 if the farmer could have en-  
tered a negative number on that line).  
The farmer adds the $3,000 from Sched-  
ule D, line 21, and the $5,000 carryover.  
The farmer subtracts from the $8,000 re-  
sult the $7,000 loss on the Schedule D,  
line 16, and enters $1,000 on line 2 of  
the worksheet.  
Line 13  
If you used Schedule J to figure your tax  
for 2022 (that is, you entered the amount  
from the 2022 Schedule J, line 23, on  
your 2022 Form 1040, 1040-SR, or  
1040-NR, line 16; or on Form 1040-X,  
line 6, for 2022), enter on line 13 the  
amount from your 2022 Schedule J,  
line 3.  
Line 3. If you had an NOL for 2022,  
enter the amount of that NOL from the  
2022 Form 1045, Schedule A, line 24,  
you filed with Form 1045 or Form  
1040-X. If you didn't have an NOL for  
2022, enter the portion, if any, of the  
NOL carryovers and carrybacks to 2022  
that weren't used in 2022 and were car-  
ried to years after 2022.  
If you didn't use Schedule J to figure  
your tax for 2022, enter on line 13 the  
taxable income from your 2022 tax re-  
turn (or as previously adjusted by the  
IRS, or corrected on an amended return).  
But if that amount is zero or less, com-  
plete the worksheet below to figure the  
amount to enter on line 13.  
The farmer enters -0- on line 3 of the  
worksheet because the farmer doesn't  
have an NOL for 2022 and didn't have  
an NOL carryover from 2022 available  
to carry to 2023 and later years. The  
NOL deduction for 2022 of $5,150 was  
reduced to zero because it didn't exceed  
the farmer’s modified taxable income of  
$7,150. Modified taxable income is fig-  
ured by adding back the $3,000 net capi-  
tal loss deduction to taxable income (fig-  
ured without regard to the NOL deduc-  
tion) of $4,150. The farmer enters  
$1,000 on line 4 and $0 on line 5 of the  
worksheet. The farmer enters $0 on  
Schedule J, line 13. The farmer enters  
$6,000 on Schedule J, line 14, and  
$6,000 on Schedule J, line 15. If the  
farmer uses Schedule J to figure the  
farmer’s tax for 2024, the farmer will  
enter $6,000 on the farmer’s 2024  
Schedule J as the 2022 taxable income  
for income averaging purposes.  
Example. The farmer didn't use in-  
come averaging for 2020, 2021, or 2022.  
The taxable income on the farmer’s  
2022 Form 1040, line 15, would have  
been a negative $1,000 if the farmer  
could have entered a negative number  
on that line. This amount includes an  
NOL deduction on the farmer’s 2022  
Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8a, of  
$5,150. The $5,150 is the portion of the  
2021 NOL that was remaining from  
2020 to be carried to 2022. See the ex-  
amples earlier. The farmer’s taxable in-  
come is limited to zero and the farmer  
doesn’t have an NOL for 2022. The re-  
sult is a negative $1,000, the farmer’s  
2022 taxable income, which the farmer  
enters as a positive amount on line 1 of  
the 2022 Taxable Income Worksheet.  
If you didn't file a tax return for  
2022, use the amount you would have  
reported as your taxable income had you  
been required to file a tax return. Be  
sure to keep all your records for 2022  
until at least 3 years after April 15, 2024  
(or the date you file your 2023 tax re-  
turn, if later).

Line 2. Any net capital loss deduction  
on your 2022 Schedule D, line 21, isn't  
allowed for income averaging purposes

pen if the taxable income—shown on  
your 2022 Form 1040, 1040-SR, or

complete lines 5 and 6 above.

Worksheet (whichever applies) as instructed above but in its entirety and with the following additional modifications. Then complete lines 5  
and 6 above. These modifications are to be made only for purposes of filling out the 2022 Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet above.

Worksheet or line 9 of your 2022 Schedule D Tax Worksheet by your capital gain excess.  
2. Reduce (but not below zero) the amount you would otherwise enter on line 2 of your 2022 Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax  
Worksheet or line 6 of your 2022 Schedule D Tax Worksheet by any of your capital gain excess not used in (1) above.  
3. Reduce (but not below zero) the amount on your 2022 Schedule D (Form 1040), line 18, by your capital gain excess.

Schedule D (Form 1040).
