Are there any other itemized deductions that I could claim on my tax return? I don’t want to overlook any potential tax deductions.

  • Gambling losses, but only to the extent of gambling winnings reported on Form 1040
  • Casualty and theft losses of income-producing property from Form 4684 or Form 4797
  • Loss from other activities from Schedule K-1 (Form 1065-B)
  • Federal estate tax on income in respect of a decedent
