To enter or review information on Form 4684 (Casualties & Thefts) please follow these steps:

  1. Click on Federal > Deductions & Credits.
  2. In the Other Deductions and Credits section, click on the Start/Revisit box next to Casualties and Thefts.  [See Screenshot #1 below.] 
  3. Since you've started entering some casualty/theft information, you will see a screen Casualty and Theft Summary.  Click on the Add a Casualty or Theft link to add another event.  You can also edit or delete your previous entry.  [Screenshot #2]
  4. If you haven't entered any casualty information yet you will see the Stolen or Damaged Items screen.  Click the Yes box. [Screenshot #3]
  5. On the Losses From Fraudulent Investments screen click on the No box.
  6. On the Casualty or Theft Event screen, enter the requested information and mark the appropriate box--Personal or Income-Producing Property.   [Screenshot #4]
  7. On the next screen, Personal [or Business] Property-Information, enter the information about the loss, including the insurance reimbursement.
