We were the victims of a scam and lost about $2,000 during the 2011 tax year. Will we be able to deduct that amount from our income?


ANSWER


The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:

We're sorry to hear that you were a victim of a fraud. Was this an investment related scheme? Either way, you can likely claim the loss on Form 4684 as stated in the IRS instructions which flows to your form 1040.
