San Gabriel Valley residents and business owners who had property damaged in the Dec. 1 windstorm won't get federal aid, but they are eligible for a tax deduction.
Last month, state legislators passed a bill that created a tax refund for people who suffered financial losses in the storm.
But if you want the deduction, you must file an amended return no later than Monday, Oct. 15.
See the attached form and instructions on how to get your windstorm damage tax deduction.
