Deductions & credits

@ron6612 The article you referenced does not talk about casualty or theft losses.  It is talking about miscellaneous itemized deductions that were subject to the 2% of AGI threshold prior to the new tax laws.

 

Casualty and theft deductions--prior to the tax reform laws, were subject to a threshold of the amount over 10% of AGI, less $100.  Theft losses were not treated as "Miscellaneous" itemized deductions.
