Should I check "The event qualifies as a 2016 disaster area" if it happened in 2017? There is no choice for 2017 disaster area except specific hurricanes. Thanks!

We are in a declared disaster area. Just not the ones on the list.

Sorry, that's not a qualifying disaster for the special treatment allowed under the Disaster Tax Relief and Airport and Airway Extension Act of 2017. That's why it's not listed in the program.
