I have a client that has a qualified federal casualty loss. I know that you can choose to take the casualty loss in addition to the casualty loss. The instructions on the IRS form says to enter on line 16 after you reported the net qualified disaster loss. you have to enter "Standard Deduction claimed with Qualified Disaster Loss" on this line.

I have tried everything in Pro Series to make this line show up on schedule A. Does anyone have any knowledge on how to accomplish this?

Fill out the Form 4684 worksheet, making sure you check the box on line 4e. Once you do that, it will work. The Schedule A will print the total standard deduction, including the casualty loss, on line 16 with text that says "See Schedule A, Line 16 Statement". The statement will show the Net Qualified Disaster Loss and the regular standard deduction and then will total them, equaling what is shown on Schedule A, Line 16.
