This program will address the federal income tax consequences of the recent Palisades and Altadena fires. This session will cover the most common tax issues facing fire victims in a clear and accessible way. Topics will include tax treatment of destroyed real property, with and without insurance reimbursement; personal property losses, reimbursed and unreimbursed; environmental remediation and cleanup costs; living expenses such as meals and lodging; diminution in real property value due to fire damage; and sales of residential and rental property following destruction. Although this program is designed for attorneys, it will also be of interest to CPAs, and is co-sponsored by the California Society of CPAs. The general public is also welcome to attend.
