How do i claim a hurricane loss?

[LinaJ2018 · Accepted solution]

You will need to file a Form 4684 Casualties and Thefts to claim a casualty loss from a hurricane. 

In TurboTax online,

• Sign in to your account and select Pick up where you left off
• At the upper right corner, in the search box, type in casualty loss, then Enter
• Select Jump to casualty loss
• On-screen, Stolen or Damaged Items, answer Yes to the question to enter information

Enter your casualty loss information in the program, and it will calculate the deduction you are entitled to.  If the damage is entirely covered by the insurance reimbursement, there might not be any deductions allowed.
