Deductions & credits

If you had $12K in damages - the FMV would have decreased by $12k from the FMV before the incident.   Example- your house has a FMV of $100k before the storm - the FMV after the storm would be $$88k.   That establishes your $12k casualty loss.   Then if you received any reimbursement, those would reduce your loss.
