Flood victims may be eligible for tax cuts Victims of the recent flooding in many Washington areas may be eligible for special tax benefits according to an announcement by IRS District Director Michael Sassi here recently. Sassi noted that persons who suffered property damage or loss are eligible for casualty loss tax deductions. "There are two ways the property-owner can claim the casualty loss deductions," Sassi said. "They can report them as itemized deductions and reduce their taxes on their 1975 federal income tax return, or they can amend last year's tax return and claim a refund from 1974." The IRS director noted that either way, the property-owner will need records to establish the "fair market value" of damaged or destroyed property. He recommended several ways this might be accomplished, even if such records were lost in the flood. "Insurance agents usually have some information available on the property they insure, and that's a good place to start," he said. Sassi also noted that any photographs showing the property before the flood are helpful, as are account records at stores where furniture, appliances and similar items were purchased. If vehicles were lost or damaged, the dealer where the vehicle was purchased may be able to help establish a value. In the case of damage to real estate, the IRS director mentioned that property appraisals done in recent years would be very helpful and most appraisers would have copies on file. Photographs of the real estate before and after the damage might also help establish the amount of damage. Sassi said the IlLS has a free "'Disaster Workbook," Publication 584, available. This workbook will assist the taxpayer in determining the amount of loss sustained. It may be obtained at local IRS offices, or obtained by mail by dialing the toll-free tax assistance number listed in local telephone directories under U.S. Government - Internal Revenue Service. Persons filing amended tax returns to claim their loss on last year's taxes should place the notation "Disaster Claim" in the lower lefthand corner of the envelope. That will assure prompt processing of the return at the IRS Center in Ogden, Utah. The mailing address for returns is 1160 West 1200 South Street, Ogden, Utah 84201. drawn by Jonie Strope 6th grade, Bordeaux Greeting drawn by Marty Wade 6th grade, Evergreen r • ,ervtce On Mt.
