Crumbling Foundation Tax Workshop Offered for Area Residents

ELLINGTON, CT — A tax workshop for those affected by the crumbling foundation epidemic is being offered this weekend.

The workshop is scheduled for Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at Ellington High School, 37 Maple St., Ellington.

U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney and Senior Internal Revenue Service Liaison Joseph S. McCarthy will be hosting the presentation designed to update homeowners on the applicability of the IRS casualty loss deduction.

Courtney (CT-02) and U.S. Rep. John Larson (CT-01) in November released a letter from the IRS responding to their questions about the impact of the new tax law on crumbling foundations tax relief announced late in 2017.

The letter states that tax relief remains available for some homeowners with crumbling foundations and cites the potential for further transitional relief for those impacted by the new tax law.
