I read the above before my last reply. Wink is not an official IRS source.
Let me go through the IRS process with you for peace of mind.
1.The disaster is an IRS announcement. It does not say qualified or not.
2. Go to Form 4684 which says to use Pub 547. It states:
- Disaster loss See Disaster Area Losses,
- Qualified disaster loss. See IRS.gov/DisasterTaxRelief for date-specific declarations associated with these disasters and for more information.
3. Go to qualified disaster relief and we see Hurricane Ian listed and know for a fact that it is a qualified disaster.
4. Select that you had a qualified disaster.
Feel free to print off the answers here and you can tuck this into your tax folder. If the IRS asks, you can say that you relied on tax advice of a professional.
