Form 4684 is to report a personal causality and loss, but it must be attributed to a federally declared disaster occurring in 2018 and/or 2019 to be used on your 2019 tax year return.
Be careful if you claim a business expense or loss. The basis in the barn is the lower of your cost or the Fair Market Value. The insurance company may say that the value of the barn was 25,000, but if you only paid 10,000, that is your basis, not 25,000. So the loss would be figured on that lower amount.
