During the current year, Rulon’s toilet overflowed due to a pipe breaking during a nationally declared earthquake disaster. Rulo

n was at work when the earthquake hit, and by the time he returned, the water had flooded the basement, causing damage to the carpet, walls, and ceiling. The cost of repairing the damage was $9,000. Rulon has homeowners insurance that will cover half of the damage. However, because he has already had claims this year, Rulon does not want to report the incident to his insurance company for fear of a large increase in insurance rates. Instead, Rulon wants to deduct the loss a casualty loss on his tax return. His AGI for this year is $50,000, and he has other itemized deductions of $6,000. Rulon is single. What amount of the casualty loss may he deduct?

Answer:

Since half of his loss would be covered by insurance and he is not filing an insurance claim, he cannot take half of the loss.

For the half he can take, 4500, he must reduce it by 100 and then by 10% of his AGI. 4,500 - 100 - 5,000 = less than zero.

So he cannot deduct any of the loss.
