Deductions & credits

@rwbjr It's available on TurboTax too but as you've been told already it will not help you.  You can no longer deduct these types of losses except in very limited circumstances, and you do not appear to have one of those circumstances (for example you can deduct the loss against a very rare thing called a casualty gain but you don't have one of those.)

 

The loss isn't deductible.  It's tragic, but your personal loss is not tax-deductible. You cannot deduct this, using any software or even if you go in-person to HRB.

 

Revenue procedure 2009-20  (it's -20 not -2020) was issued and valid in 2009 and through 2017 but the tax law changes in 2017 make it useless to you now.
