My apartment was destroyed during Hurricane Sandy, had a little over a foot of water in my apartment. Now while the repairs to the apartment were handled by my landlord but I lost most of my furniture and some personal possessions. I've since purchased new furniture and moved back into my apartment but my questions is can I get any tax breaks or deductions for my storm related losses ?I've kept receipts of the new furniture I've had the purchase and moving expenses. I also didn't have renters insurance because insurance is a form of gambling.
