I have a Theft Loss to report in accord with IRS Memorandum IRC 165 published March 14, 2025 (cryptocurrency fraud). But I cannot find a way to claim a standard theft loss in TurboTax (it's not a federal disaster, but it's still allowed under current tax law as I've entered into it for profit seeking motive).

You enter the theft loss in the Deductions and Credits section, then Other Deductions and Credits, then Casualty and Thefts. You need to indicate that the theft was from Income producing property:

Also that the property was owned for investment purposes:
