Answer:

D) Carry the loss forward to reduce income in future years

Step-by-step explanation:

The IRS allows corporations to carry losses both forward and backwards in order for them to reduce their taxable income. A corporation can carry an operating loss back two years, and it can carry them forward up to 20 years in order to reduce taxable income generated in subsequent years. A backwards carryover lowers the taxes that the corporation might owe to the government.
