Losses from drought may not qualify as casualty losses unless there is evidence of rapid and severe subsoil shrinkage.

Professional engineering opinions and appraisals are necessary to prove the extent of damage, and all opinions and appraisals are subject to IRS review."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/James%20R.%20Jones%20Collection/James%20R.%20Jones%20Correspondence%20Series,%201968-1986%20/CAC_CC_109_4_22_1_0000-District%20Office,%20Jones%20Clippings,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_109_4_22_2_0015_thumbnail.jpg "Understanding the Tax Implications and Proofs Required for Residential Casualty Losses")

![["The IRS allows for deductions on income tax returns for damage to residential property caused by subsoil shrinkage in excess of $100 that has not been compensated by insurance. To prove the damage, a professional soil engineering opinion is recommended. The amount of damage can be determined by the difference in fair market value before and after the damage, with a professional appraisal being the best evidence. If repairs are not made until the following year, the loss can still be deducted in the year it occurred. Casualty losses under $100, losses compensated by insurance, damage to trees, bushes, or landscaping are not deductible unless caused by rapid, severe, and unusual subsoil shrinkage. The taxpayer must file an amended return if necessary."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/James%20R.%20Jones%20Collection/James%20R.%20Jones%20Correspondence%20Series,%201968-1986%20/CAC_CC_109_4_22_1_0000-District%20Office,%20Jones%20Clippings,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_109_4_22_2_0014_thumbnail.jpg "Deducting Drought Damage from 1980 Income Tax Returns: Guidelines on Proving Subsoil Shrinkage and Estimating Property Damage")
