Thank you for posting your question! Since the Leilani Estates Neighborhood was included in the Federal Disaster Declaration of May 11, 2018 (DR-4366-HI), casualty losses can be deducted as an itemized deduction on Schedule A (if you are itemizing and not taking the standard deduction).

TurboTax is certainly set up for this type of deduction:

- Click the "Deductions & Credits" tab
- Scroll down to "Other Deductions & Credits"
- "Show More."
- You will find the "Disaster, theft...loss" topic there.
- DR-4366-HI is the major disaster declaration ID
If you find this answer helpful, give me a thumbs UP!!!
