If you lost food in your freezer/refrigerator due to power outages from a disaster, and lived in a federally declared disaster, then you may be able to deduct the expenses under the Casualty and Theft Deduction.

Here is how to enter the expenses:

1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax Online 
2. Navigate to Federal > Deductions & Credits > Disasters, theft, and other property loss or damage
3. On the Casualties or Theft Event screen, select "This event qualifies as a Federally declared major qualified disaster loss"
