Determining the Casualty and Theft Losses Deduction On-Demand Webinar

Summary

For the years 2018-2025, business casualty and theft losses, along with theft losses from Ponzi-type investment schemes, remain deductible. However, personal casualty loss deductions are limited to those incurred in federally declared disaster areas. Generally, taxpayers may be able to deduct allowable personal, business or Ponzi losses if they will not be reimbursed by insurance fully or at all. This webinar addresses when a casualty loss or theft is a deductible event, how much the loss is, or if there is even a taxable event when insurance reimbursement is greater than the basis of the property. In addition, this webinar will go through the steps of reporting the loss on Form 4684, Casualties and Thefts.
