I had a loss due to Hurricane Ida which was a Federally- declared disaster. My insurance did not cover anything, but FEMA provided partial assistance. How do I show the amount of the FEMA check on TurboTax

FEMA disaster grants are not considered taxable income and are not reported on your tax return. This TurboTax link What if I have property that was lost or damaged (a casualty loss)? has information you may find helpful in claiming your disaster losses.

Thanks Leonard. Can I also deduct the cost of the fee for a water remediation company that we hired to pumped out the water, rip up the carpet and dry out the area? I believe so, but can't figure out how and where on Turbo Tax.
