Unfortunately, the deduction for personal casualty or theft losses has been repealed in tax years 2018 – 2025, unless the loss occurred in a federally-declared disaster area.

Previously, uninsured losses exceeding $100 due to fire, theft, or natural disaster could be deducted if the total loss amount exceeded 10% of the AGI, regardless of location.
