Investopedia explains 'Form 1045: Application For Tentative Refund'

Tax payers should be careful when carrying back net operating loss (NOL) to a previous tax year because it may create an alternative minimum tax (AMT) obligation. This can be created even if there was no AMT owed in the previous period.
