Deductible losses. In general,
must result from some sudden
destructive force"
When is the loss deductible?
Casualty losses are deductible
only in the year when they &C.
Cured.
What is the deductible loss?
There are two kinds of casualty
losses that may be deducted.
One is a non-business loss suf-
fefred by a taxpayer whose home,
pleasure boat, automobile, or
other property is damaged or
destroyed. The other is loss to
business property. The rules for
deducting business loans become
pretty complicated. 1t is best for
any businessman or farmer who
does not have his own tax adj
wiser to seek help from the
Revenue Service.
General Rules
Here are the general rules on
casualty losses to non-business
property:
/. Any part of your loss which
is reimbursed by insurance Is
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-01-11

not deductible. That Is. IL you
figure that your home was dam
aged to the extent Of $500 by
a fire, and insurance covered
81 200 of the loss, you would have
no more than a $500 deductible
loss. II the insurance payment
was greater than your loss. you
would have to report the excess
as added income.
If you do not collect on your
insurance by the end OF the tax
able year, you should estimate
how much Of the loss will be re-
covered from insurance, or from
a suit for damage, and deduct
from your 1855 income only the
remaining loss.
If your estimate turns out later
to have been inaccurate. you can
file an amended return correct
ing the mistake.
2. If it is impossible to deter
mine your loss by the time your
income tax return is due, you
can request your district director
for an extension of filing time.
3. To determine the amount Of
deduction allowable as a casualty
loss you must first know what

you paid for the property. II II
was q gift you may have no
basis for claiming q deduction.
Allowable Deduction
The deduction allowable where
you have an investment in the
property damaged is the diff
ference between the value of
the property just before the
casualty and its value immedi-
ately after. However. the loss
may not be greater than the
cost or. If the property has been
deprecated for tax purposes. its
deprecated value.
The value after the casualty is
determined by the actual dam
age done to the property. 1t is
not determined by estimating
the cost Of restoration or re-
placement.
The value Of shade and orna-
mental trees which are a part of
the properly damaged may be in
cluded in the deduction. but only
as the whole value of the prop
erty is reduced by their destruc-
ton or damage.
Amounts you may receive
from your employer or from re-

LOSERS from fires which do
not arise from a natural cause
and which may affect only the
property of one taxpayer also
are deductable casualties.
Limitations listed
Not classed as deductible losses
are those from some steadily
operating cause. such as land
erosion or the weakening of a
structure from normal action of
weather or water. Nor may a
