Deductions & credits

@JarvisPLLC 

Hi Jarvis,

Thanks a lot for your guidence. 

Seems I can use "Federally declared disaster method—contractor safe harbor",  because there is no dollar amount limitation here, I am still checking it.

However, it brought me 3 more questions:

1)Should I have to list all damaged items one by one, or I can just add them all to report one item as loss of  house value?

2)In the turbotax online software, it still ask me to fill out FMV before and after hurricane, Can I add zero for before hurricane, and add the contract dollar amount for after hurricane.

3)I found a weird situation, after I filled out all the numbers, the Federal refund dollar amount in the turbotax online software is not changed at all regardless I select it as "a qualified disaster" or "not a qualified disaster". The result should be different, right? Did I make some mistake here?

Thanks again for your great help. Have a nice day.
