Aside from the casualty loss deduction of items due to Hurricane Ida, can you also deduct the cost we paid a water remediation company to rip up the carpet,

pump out the water and dry out the area? It was $5K.

If those costs are also associated with the Hurricane Ida damage you can include them in that deduction.

Thank you for your quick response, JulieS. Where and how do I include them on Turbo Tax

Here is how to claim the costs for the causality loss.

Go to federal>deductions and credits>other deductions and credits>casualties and theft
Then go through the questions. You will need a Fema disaster code to complete the section and receive the deduction.
