Recommendations

The Commissioner, Wage and Investment Divisioin, should, as previously reported, develop processes and procedures to identify tax returns at the time returns are filed for which there is a casualty and theft loss deduction claimed on Schedule A and the Federal Emergency Management Agency number is not provided or is not valid to send to the Error Resolution function to be addressed.
