We had large losses due to Hurricane Mathew. I am aware that I may submit such losses in the previous year's taxes. What advantages are there in doing this?
Is there a maximum casualty loss which can be deducted in any one tax year?

You can claim Casualty and Theft Losses (less insurance reimbursements and less $100) up to the amount of your taxable income, which will reduce your taxable income.
A brief IRS Tax Topic can be found here: Theft and Casualty Losses - IRS
