My mobile home was destroyed by fire. Suspected arson. Loss includes $28,000 home, $15,000 contents, $6,000 demolition. No insurance. How do I report this?

You would report this as a Casualty Loss, under Other Deductions and credits, Disasters, theft, and other property loss or damage. Read the screens carefully, and click on all the blue links with Learn More or ? because there is a lot of information in the program to help you figure the amount of your deduction.
