I’m entering a federally declared disaster loss (hurricane) for a client’s personal residence in ProConnect. The FMV before loss is $152,000, FMV after is $122,000, insurance reimbursement is $20,000, and amount paid for repairs is $30,000. However, there is no visible field to enter the property’s cost or adjusted basis (which is $125,000). After entering all information in the 4684 input area, ProConnect is putting $20,000 on Form 1040, line 7 (capital gain/loss), instead of carrying the casualty loss to Schedule A. I double-checked that the event is not entered on Schedule D or as an asset sale. Where or how should I enter the cost basis for the casualty loss? Is this a software bug or am I missing a step? How do I get ProConnect to treat this as a casualty loss deduction instead of a capital gain?
