Mark, I have a question on State returns. I understand that under the Federal return there is no allowance for scams by unscrupulous persons. But under the State returns it may be allowable. Scams from domestic and international sources have had an effect on me last year and I want to know that in the State returns it is acceptable to report it that way. I live in California and I want to know if I can deduct funds I sent to international scammers. This has been reported to the FBI on the ic3.gov form recently. Anthony
