Casualty loss on rental property

Michael Bertsch

Posted
Several months ago we had a bad storm come through and the roof was damaged on my rental property. The total cost was about $4k to replace. My insurance claim covered part of the cost. I paid $2800 out of pocket. So, can I deduct the whole $2800 this year with a casualty loss? If so, does my basis stay the same or does it need to be reduced a certain amount?
