Hi xhoul88,

You can select "Do it for me" button while on TurboTax Online to have a credential expert prepares your tax return.

The following links provide some insight regarding "Theft" loss.

Pub 547 Casualties, Disasters, and Thefts, page 4

Pub 584 Casualty, Disaster, and Theft Loss Workbook (Personal-Use Property)

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p584.pdf

If applicable, the theft loss is reported on:

Form 4684 Casualties and Thefts and instructions

Hope the above helps. Thank you.

Hi There

Sorry to say but personal theft losses are no longer deductible. Currently, the only provision for casualty losses are those attributed to a federally declared disaster area. BTW, business theft is still deductible.
