Extra expenses from home claim

Anonymous — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 06:58:11 GMT

We had a home claim for roof/siding/gutters last year and after our deductible we still had to pay more due to COVID? Are we able to claim that and if so do I have to amend 2021 taxes or can I do it on 22?

I am sorry to hear you had to have a claim on your home. I have a few questions to make sure we get you the proper answers.

Was the damage due to a casualty and/or theft?
- If so, these used to be deductible if you were able to itemize your deductions. With the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, these were removed for tax years 2018-2025 unless they are made permanent with new legislation.
Was the damage due to a Federally Declared Disaster?
- If yes, you are allowed to take the deduction for amounts over the reimbursements. Here is a link to some great FAQs on this topic Federally Declared Disaster Loss FAQs

I hope this sheds some light on what can and cannot be deducted on this type of claim.
