Deductions & credits
Unfortunately, personal casualty losses are no longer deductible on your federal return. A qualified disaster loss is an individual’s casualty or theft loss of personal-use property that is attributable to a federally declared disaster, as well as from Hurricane Harvey, Tropical Storm Harvey, Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Maria, or from California wildfires in 2017 and January 2018.
Between 2018 and 2025, you may only claim the casualty loss deduction when:
- Damages took place due to a federally declared disaster,
- The losses you incurred are not covered by insurance, and
- The total amount of casualty losses for the tax year exceed 10% of your AGI.
