Yes, I would file an amendment for this year to claim the disaster loss. I have checked this FEMA website and Hurricane Laura has been updated as a declared major disaster. You can now report this in Turbo Tax. To amend:
- Sign in to TurboTax.
- Scroll down to under Your tax returns & documents,
- Select Amend (change) 2020 return,
- Then Start amending my 2020 return.
- Then, select the reason you’re amending and follow the onscreen instructions.
- Go to federal>deductions and credits>
To amend your 2020 return:
