Supporting disaster victims nationwide through the Federal Casualty Loss Program
Disaster Recovery Foundation
Restoring lives after calamities strike
Disaster Recovery Foundation
The Disaster Recovery Foundation was created to provide victims of federally declared disasters with the appraisal they need to file IRS casualty loss claims, quickly. We do this using proprietary technology in a transparent, defensible process that includes individual review by valuation techs. The Loss Reports we provide are a competent appraisal for disaster-related loss in Fair Market Value (FMV) for use with Form 4684 on Federal Taxes.
Disaster Recovery Foundation exists to accept donations that are used exclusively to pay the full cost of Disaster Loss Reports required by the IRS for disaster victims who seek to recover unreimbursed losses via the casualty loss provision of the U.S. tax code. This is the only means by which victims can recover those losses. Disaster Recovery Foundation can accept donations that are tax-deductible under Section 501(c)(3).

Providing Critical Support
How We Help
We offer support and guidance through the entire Federal Casualty Loss Program application process.
Our team ensures that disaster victims receive the maximum possible benefits from the program.
The Federal Casualty Loss program has been part of the U.S. tax code since its inception. Today, it provides relief for owners whose homes suffer losses as a result of federally declared disasters, allowing them to deduct unreimbursed losses from their tax liability. This often allows taxpayers to recover taxes previously paid to help with immediate needs, and/or reduce their tax liability going forward.

Maximum Benefits
We prepare Disaster Loss Reports that provide substantiating evidence for an IRS Casualty Loss filing through form 4684. This form allows people like you who have suffered losses in disasters to deduct unreimbursed losses as a tax deduction that may save thousands of dollars in taxes. In order to file this form, you need a professional valuation of your loss. That’s where we come in.
The IRS has determined that form 4684 needs to be accompanied by a “competent valuation” such as a Home Appraisal or Disaster Relief Loss Report. The IRS has stated that:
- Automated Estimates such as Zillow and Redfin are not acceptable.
- Broker estimates are not acceptable.
- Homeowner estimates are not acceptable.
- Insurance estimates are acceptable, but are typically low, and a Disaster Relief Loss Report may result in a larger deduction.
- Actual rebuilding bills may be used, but only after your project is complete, so it will take longer and a Disaster Relief Loss Report may result in a larger deduction.
IBy using a Loss Report, taxpayers can ensure that they are maximizing their tax relief benefits and receiving the refunds they are entitled to. With a proven track record of assisting over 10,000 customers in navigating the complexities of the IRS system, Disaster Relief has become a trusted partner in disaster recovery.
A Loss Report gets victims money faster with Guaranteed IRS acceptance and allows them to amend a filing up to three years prior.
