Are Hurricane losses added to the standard deduction?
I got a new roof on my house thanks to Hurricane Sally. The deductible was about $7000 for a net out-of-pocket. I do not have enough other costs to itemize so TT assigns the standard deduction. But TT then adds the loss from a Qualified Disaster on top of that resulting line 12 of Form 1040 including the standard deduction plus the loss. Is this correct? Seems weird.
