    Can these measurements be used as losses to offset taxes?

      Typically, losses in one year can be used to offset profits in following years, but not indefinitely… maybe three years tops IIRC. But that would mean the company would have to become very, very profitable profitable, which is doubtful.

        They changed the rules under the Tax Cut and Jobs Act and losses can be carried forward indefinitely.
