How do we file for non-reimbursed losses for 2022 Hurricane Ian .

[bkaytaxes]

Greetings @edward crouse 

So sorry for your loss.  Fortunately the IRS is providing some tax relief for losses that are non reimbursed.  

You can claim  casualty losses  on either the tax return for the year the loss occurred(in this case the 2022 tax return filed in 2023) or the loss can be deducted on the tax return for the prior year.    This also includes personal property losses not reimbursed or covered by insurance.

Be sure to write the following FEMA declaration number on any return claiming a loss:  

• DR-4673-FL for Florida 
• DR-3585-EM-SC for South Carolina 
• DR-3586-EM-NC for North Carolina

Wishing you all the best!
