To deduct a casualty loss (ie. from a hurricane), you must itemize your deductions on Schedule A. The amount of your deduction is limited to the amount of the loss that exceeds 10% of your Adjusted Gross Income after a $100 deductible
As an example if you had a $5,000 property loss,and your Adjusted Gross Income is $40,000, your resultr would be as follows
After deducting $100, you are left with $4, 900 which is $900 above 10% of your Adjusted Gross Income of $4,000.
Your deduction would therefore be $900
