第一題其實很簡單：就276,000-320,000=(44,000)而已。
簡單地說，operating income就是business income，反之operating loss就是
business loss。salary from part-time job也不是operating income，所以不
能算進去。要了解那個是那個，最快的方法就是找form 1040出來看，多看幾次
就會了。
第二題有點缺陷，因為NOL要不要carryback是可以由納稅人選擇的。假定要carryback
，因為原本的net business income都被抵了，還剩下17,000的operating income。
因此AGI就變成18,000。而再扣除列舉扣除額和免稅額，就是
18,000-50%*40,000-(6,500-7.5%*18,000)-3,400*2<0
所以taxable income為零。
第三題也很簡單，也有點缺陷。假定所有NOL都在2007年carryback了，最大可以
carryforward的金額為零。如果沒有carryback，最大可以carryback的金額是
44,000。
