CPAR - 2019/November, Seg.03 - Disaster Relief: The IRS May Have Your Back

Course Overview
Hurricanes and natural disasters are starting to be the norm, especially in certain parts of the country. Recently, the Bahamas and areas of Texas were devastated by Hurricane Dorian and the tropical storm Imelda. Disasters can strike without warning, causing significant damage and destruction. Special tax law provisions may help individual taxpayers and businesses recover financially from the impact of a disaster, especially when the federal government declares their location to be a major disaster area. Barbara Weltman, president of Big Ideas for Small Business, explains the deductibility of such losses and the choices taxpayers have in claiming them.
