NOL

I have a corporate client who just filed a 2016 and 2017 tax return with substantial profits (very late filing).  I completed the 2018 and there is a loss.  Can I file Form 1139 to apply the NOL back to 2016 and 2017 or is it too late to do this since the returns are being filed beyond the due date.

    Too late for the 1139.

    You can do amended returns for the carryback.

    The more I know the more I don’t know.

    Did CARES retro back to 2018?  So T-5 years would be amended 2013 first, then carried forward from there?  I'm probably missing something, I don't see many NOLs.
