Can you deduct losses from a burglary in your home

[karen12657]

Our home was broken into last year and can I claim any of the losses?

Per the IRS - Generally, you may deduct casualty and theft losses relating to your home, household items, and vehicles on your federal income tax return. You may not deduct casualty and theft losses covered by insurance, unless you file a timely claim for reimbursement and you reduce the loss by the amount of any reimbursement or expected reimbursement.
