A valuation allowance is needed if taxable income is anticipated to be insufficient to realize the tax benefit.

When used to offset earlier taxable income: Called: operating loss carryback. Result in a tax refund. When used to offset earlier taxable income: Called: operating loss carryback. Result in a tax refund. When used to offset future taxable income: Called: operating loss carryforward. Result in reduced tax payable. When used to offset future taxable income: Called: operating loss carryforward. Result in reduced tax payable.

It is usually advantageous to carry back losses by filing an amended tax return to realize the benefit sooner.
