Solution

The statement is partially true. Casualty and theft deductions are indeed allowed for financial losses resulting from federally declared disasters. However, they are not limited to such disasters only. You can also claim these deductions for losses resulting from other types of casualty events, like car accidents or vandalism, as long as the loss was sudden, unexpected, and not due to your negligence.

As for the second part of the statement, it is true. The IRS allows you to deduct the amount of your loss that exceeds 10% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), less $100, for losses not reimbursed by an insurance company or other source.

So, the statement is true in part and false in part.
