Research Problem

A single taxpayer, reported the following information on his 2016 Form 1040:

Salary from part-time job	$ 16,600
Interest on savings account	400
Net loss from sole proprietorship	(22,100)
Alimony received	3,600
AGI	$(1,500)
Standard deduction	(6,300)
Exemption	(4,050)
Taxable income	$(11,850)

Does Bill have a net operating loss (NOL) that he can carry back or forward as a deduction in another taxable year?
