Since the other asset was destroyed in a natural disaster, you would enter all the information as a qualified casualty loss in TurboTax:

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Navigate to the casualty loss section:
    • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to casualty loss.
    • TurboTax Desktop: Search for casualty loss and select the Jump to link.
  3. Select Yes on the Did you have anything damaged or stolen in 2024? screen.
  4. Answer the questions about your event, entering your Description in the following format: State, Disaster (for example, California, Wildfires).

Note that your basis for this asset would be the original purchase price less accumulated depreciation (not zero).
