Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Working on my casualty deduction further, and having read some IRS instructions, I want to go with the Safe Harbor method in reporting my losses. Specifically I am focusing on the de minimis method. Per IRS instruction for Form 4684, "If you use one of the safe harbor methods provided in Revenue Procedure 2018-08, you must attach a statement to Form 4684 stating that you used Revenue Procedure 2018-08 to determine the amount of your casualty loss. Include the specific safe harbor method used. When completing Form 4684, do not enter an amount on line 5 or line 6 for each property. Instead, enter the decrease in the FMV determined in the relevant safe harbor method on line 7." Does TurboTax interviewing process support going with de minimis method? How do I get to the result of leaving lines 5 and 6 empty, only entering loss on line 7?
Thank you so much!
