![["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.
