Many thanks in advance! We live in federal declared major disaster area in MS (ZETA, 11/2020). I'm hoping I can deduct the repair expenses to our primary residence. I rented a big bucket lift & a chainsaw to remove a 14" broken-off live oak main branch that broke off during the storm & stayed hung up in the tree. I also paid a man to reinstall our privacy fence that blew down and I also bought him all the materials to do that. Insurance would not pay for any of that (not covered/deductible too high). The only "loss" we had were expenses for the fence repair & tree removal. None of this seems to fit into the Casualties and Thefts section that I could see. Greatly appreciate any guidance/advise. Best wishes - gr8tful1 😄
