Learning Objective

  • To define casualty losses.
  • To discuss how to time the loss deduction.
  • To analyze the calculation of loss and deduction.
  • To discuss section 1033 involuntary conversions.
  • To review the taxability of insurance proceeds, settlements, and other relief payments.
  • To analyze how to prepare Form 4684.

Course Overview

News-making disasters affect your clients’ tax returns. 

Relief is available to taxpayers who’ve suffered these losses, but achieving that relief requires understanding and applying the applicable rules. There are also significant developments with the IRS in the area of casualty losses and getting those losses properly reflected on Form 4684.

Taxpayers who have suffered losses in declared disaster areas may have opportunities to generate immediate cash savings as well as reduce current tax liabilities. This requires fully understanding the definitions of and rules surrounding casualty losses and properly applying them. These rules are complex and documentation is difficult, especially when many clients have lost all their records.

This CE Tax Course will cover deducting casualty losses inside and outside of federally declared disaster areas and will also review tax relief for taxpayers affected by the recent disasters. Although the TCJA eliminated personal casualty losses for the years 2018 - 2025, business casualty losses remain deductible, and personal losses within federally declared disaster areas remain deductible.

This CPE webinar will review the deductible portion of losses, insurance proceeds, settlements, and other relief received that affect the deductible of the losses. It will also include tips on filing Form 4684 and properly reflecting the losses on both personal and business returns. 

Key topics discussed in this webinar: 

  • Deducting Personal Casualty Loss
  • Determining the Nature of Loss
  • Federally Declared Disasters
  • Definition of Casualty
  • Determine the Amount of Loss
  • What About Covid-19?
  • Effect of Insurance Proceeds, Settlements, and Certain Disaster Relief Payments
  • When to Report Losses
  • Deducting Business Casualty Loss
  • Navigating Form 4684

Robert Gutierrez, EA

Mr. Pon is an excellent presenter and covered this topic thoroughly and in easy to understand manner. I learned about things that I previously was not too sure of. Even though the information was voluminous, I know I will be able to look back at his handouts and deal with these matters effectively in real life situations.

This was a really good course in light of all the recent weather and fire disasters we have experienced, not to mention PONCE schemes that still happen.
