then to the second taxable year following the loss year, and then to the
next immediately subsequent taxable year or years until the loss is used
up or the [twentieth] FIFTH taxable year following the loss year, which-
ever comes first.
§ 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to taxable
years beginning on and after January 1, 2025.
